Get to know Alicia:

  • I am a first-generation Mexican American who graduated from Saint Martin’s in 2021! Because of my amazing experiences and my passion for helping students, I became an admission counselor.  
  • Whenever I am somewhere new, I also like to find new spots whether it’s a local mom & pop restaurant, or a cozy bookstore. One of my favorite places to visit in Downtown Olympia is the Bread Peddler.  
  • When I am not running around campus or traveling, you can find me diving into a new hobby, whether that is trying a new recipe or rewinding a crochet tutorial for the millionth time. I'm always open to swapping recipes!
