After graduating from Santa Clara with degrees in WGST and Political Science, Alicia interned at Fenwick & West, supporting the firm's operations and DEI endeavors.

Currently, she is a member of the Women's Law Caucus and Family Law Society, and she conducts research alongside her professor in plain language law to make the legal system more accessible.
