Alia Chand

Alia Chand is a junior Art and Communication double major from Dallas, Texas. Her love for the outdoors was sparked during eight amazing summers spent hiking the Rocky Mountains at an outdoors camp (shout out Cheley). Now, Alia spends her time outside hiking across the greater Los Angeles area, but especially in the Angeles National Forest. Alia is also a big music and carrot cake enthusiast—send recommendations her way.

Outside of peaks trips, you can usually find Alia outside with a camera or in the darkroom developing her film. You can find her photography portfolio (which is full of photos from Peaks hikes—shameless plug) at aliachandphotography.com

PS: Come to her art exhibition (more details here)! Gallery opening is October 23, 5-7pm at USC’s Roski Studios Building (IFT) — 3001 Flower St. Los Angeles, CA 90007. Available for viewing by appointment from October 24 - November 11, 2025.
