Being diagnosed with breast cancer, especially as a younger woman, is a life altering experience — not only during treatment, but also how life goes on afterward. I hope to be a resource for others who are going through, or who have gone through, breast cancer.

Alicia’s interests are in proactive education, as well as self-advocacy in diagnosis, treatments, support, and resources. She has been open with her own experiences, in the hope that others can learn from her and feel supported. She has had the opportunity to work with many people in different settings, and in doing so, feels that she is personable and open-minded. Being with family and friends, being active, connecting with others, and learning new skills bring her joy.
