Bio

"It's very surprising to me that during my tenure at Carnegie Mellon, I have increasingly grown to love and enjoy what this campus has to offer. There has never been a moment where I can truly say to myself, 'Okay, that's it, that's all I can do here.' I want to enable that inspiration in others by providing them with the tools they need to stay active in the campus community."

During her time at Carnegie Mellon, Alicia's academic career encompassed a Communication Design BFA with a concentration in Business Management. In the realm of extracurricular activities, Alicia has devoted herself to Student Life and Student Development, as an RA, Pre-Colllege Counselor, and Head Orientation Counselor Role. In her Fifth Year Scholar project, Alicia hopes to marry these experiences and expertise while working with the Student Activities Office to build a strong, reliable, and readily available resource for students who take initiative on campus.
