Alicia is a native of Ellendale, ND, and a graduate of the University of Mary, where she earned her degree in Respiratory Therapy. After spending time living in Bismarck and working in the acute care world, Alicia and her family returned to their hometown, where she was reminded once again of what makes small-town communities so special.
Alicia and her husband, Jeff, have four daughters. She has been involved with and passionate about supporting older adults in Ellendale since high school. After returning to Ellendale, she began a career in long-term care, continuing her commitment to serving older adults and their families.
Alicia is very excited to be part of the Aging in Community (AIC) team and loves the opportunity to connect volunteers with older adults in Dickey County who could benefit from a helping hand. She believes there is something truly special about being able to remain in the homes and communities we love for as long as possible, and she is passionate about helping make that possible for the older adults in our county.
