Alicia is a seasoned communications manager and strategist with a passion for social justice and pop culture. During her nearly two decades crafting communications campaigns focused on advancing a progressive agenda, Alicia has worked on nearly every issue related to a thriving democracy. She has worked to educate and inspire audiences on issues including: reproductive justice, women’s rights, LGBT rights, racial justice and pocketbook issues like affordable, quality child care and equal pay. Alicia joined The League in 2019 and currently serves as Chief Communications Officer.

Alicia has a wide range of experience, including consulting, in-house and agency-led communications strategy and public relations work. She was the Communications Director for the Make It Work campaign. In that role, she oversaw innovative and culture driven communications strategies that consistently exceeded industry engagement standards.  Her approach is audience-driven, and she prides herself on her ability to craft campaigns that speak to audiences beyond the progressive, white audiences non-profits so frequently default to reaching. 

Prior to her role at Make It Work, Alicia was a Senior Communications Strategist at the American Civil Liberties Union. There she was proud to help shape the public narratives around some of the most crucial social justice issues of our time, including marriage equality, a woman’s right to abortion care, domestic violence and ending segregation in our nation’s schools.

Alicia honed her strategy and media relations skills at Fenton Communications where she worked with a wide variety of clients including The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, SodaStream, The Tavis Smiley Show, Phoenix House and The Foundation for Child Development.

Alicia is a graduate of Brown University, with a B.A. in Public Policy. She lives in Stamford CT, where she enjoys encouraging her two young sons to become mini-nerds and feminists. When she’s not doing activities with the under-five crowd, you’re just as likely to find her in a comic book store as in the latest “hot” restaurant.
