I am a PhD Candidate Educational Leadership and Policy in the Department of Leadership Higher and Adult Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto.

I am a second time recipient of the Ontario Graduate Scholarship. My research focuses on School Discipline, School Safety, specifically the effects of School Resource Officers in schools and advocating for police-free schools across Canada. I hold a master’s degree in Socio-Legal Studies from York University and a bachelor’s degree in Humanities and Latin American & Caribbean Studies at York University. I am a part-time faculty at Sheridan College in the Faculty of Applied Health & Community studies.

I have 20 years of community service and activism with a long-standing relationship of serving community collectives in Toronto and working with racialized children and youth in lower income and priority neighbourhoods. I was a parent member of LAEN, Latinx, Afro-Latin-America, Abya Yala Education Network, for which they were actively involved in the removal of the School Resource Officer Program in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). I was the elected Ward 7 representative of the Parent Involvement Advisory Council in the TDSB for several years, for which, I made public delegation against the revival of the School Resource Officer program and have been part of pushing motions through to address the racist hate-based incidents that have occurred in the ward.  Alice is currently serving as a member of the Latinx Special Task Force at the TDSB.
