Name: Alexandra Schilling

Fun Fact: I´m a licensed bartender and real estate agent.
First time modeling? Nope!
Why did you join Lux? China Care has such a great mission, and Tufts China Care really works to bring that awareness and drive to Tufts students. Lux is a great way to get involved and to meet other people with that same passion, whom I otherwise might never have gotten to know.
What do you know about Tufts China Care Club? Lots - I wrote a piece on last year´s show and the broader mission of the club for a journalism class. The club addresses several aspects of adoption in mainland China - fundraising for life-saving surgeries for children up for adoption, support and heritage preservation for children who have been adopted and brought to the States (and a support group for their new parents), and, perhaps most importantly, raising awareness about why child abandonment is such a huge issue in the first place.
Why should people come to Lux this year? It´s a good time, and a great cause, with fantastic people - why wouldn´t you come?!
Other things you would like to add: Make sure to audition next year and make it rain money on the babies!
