Alicia was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with family roots in the northern towns of Tierra Amarilla, Chama, and El Rito. Growing up between these diverse environments taught her that every community is unique — and that each culture deserves to be recognized and celebrated.

This understanding shapes her approach to design, inspiring her to integrate cultural diversity and environmental sensitivity into the built environment at every scale. Alicia believes that architecture impacts more than just people — it influences the land, wildlife, and atmosphere that surrounds it.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Architecture with a minor in Business Administration from the University of New Mexico in May 2024. Currently, she is pursuing a Master’s degree in Architecture, with aspirations to become a licensed architect. Within the team, Alicia supports design documentation, Building Information Modeling (BIM), graphic design, interior design and project organization.
