Alecia’s passion for learning was sparked early on by her innate curiosity and relentless desire to understand the world.
Alecia began her career as an electrical engineer, working for companies such as: IBM, Texas Instruments, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. After becoming a mother, she began to sense that she was being called to walk a different path. She left her engineering career in order to raise her children full-time. It was in this season of life that she began to explore her vocation as an educator.
She began investing in her four children, which later resulted in three graduates from their homeschooling academy. She has now accumulated over two decades of experience spanning public schools, homeschool programs, and private tutoring. Each stop of her journey has provided her with valuable insight that has shaped her understanding of education.
Alecia believes in the importance of cultivating a supportive learning environment for a diverse student body. Having navigated her own children’s educational experiences as they experienced environments which didn’t consider their cultural perspectives or unique challenges, she is committed to integrating diverse cultural experiences into the learning process. She believes that such exposure not only honors the richness of each culture but also prepares students to navigate a world that requires strong cross-cultural competency.
Alecia seeks to be a conduit of the extravagant love of God. Her prayer is that every person she encounters recognizes their belovedness because they have experienced the generous overflowing love of God being poured out through her. She also believes every person was born with special God-given gifts that were meant to be shared with the world, bringing the goodness of Heaven to earth.
