“Hi, my name is Alaric! I grew up in the SGV region of Southern California, where I stayed until I went to Penn to study engineering and business. I just moved to NYC to start a new chapter of life, explore a city, and feel something new! I’m motivated by a desire to listen and learn from the people around me, to find joy and provide joy for my friends and family, and my pursuit of personal passions that include rock climbing, making music, DJing, and building community connections.”
