“Studying abroad through IFSA set me on a path to redefine ‘home.’ To me, home is not a single, physical space or a set routine, but the creation of strong relationships and a true sense of belonging. I have been fortunate to find home in many places across the globe and I am passionate about helping students do the same.”
Education
Alicia holds a master’s degree in media and communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a bachelor’s degree in international health and development from the University of Denver.
