Born and bred in Seattle, Alicia is a UW Husky fan to the core (GO DAWGS!) with a permanent case of the travel bug. Passions include:

- Exploring new cities without a map
- Staking out free samples at Costco (best place on Earth)
- Puppies & that "new puppy" smell
- Getting lost in the great outdoors (she's a self-proclaimed ski bum / backpacker / overall outdoor enthusiast)
- Baking (and, more importantly, eating the final product)
- And of course... Marketing! Humanizing a brand and creating a community within the fanbase. What better place to do that then the already-thriving ActiveRain community? :)
