Greetings earthlings! My name is Alise Price, a 22-year-old young lady from Houma, Louisiana. I was enrolled at Nichols State University pursuing the science of nursing, until I soon realized that the program wasn’t where my passions would be fulfilled. The plan is to go back to college to study wildlife biology. I’m very intrigued by any biological sciences. I also enjoy discovering different philosophical perspectives on reality. In my free time I do yoga, roller skate, read, and discuss with friends complex ideas and beliefs. I’m passionate about doing what I can to catalyze our societal shift in consciousness and bring in the “New Earth”.
