Alicia joined the World of Smiles team in 2023 as a Restorative Dental Hygienist. She earned her bachelor's degree in dental hygiene from Clark College in Vancouver, Washington in 2022. She decided to go into dental hygiene with the intention of working with children to help with dental anxiety. She then fell in love with restorative dentistry while getting her degree. She has worked and volunteered with children in many different capacities for over 15 years and has always enjoyed spending time teaching children. In her time outside of work she loves being in the outdoors with her two sons. As an Oregon native, she loves all of the activities the PNW has to offer, rain or shine.
