She's been with Wednesday Journal Publications since the beginning of 2013 and is now the Communications and Marketing Project Manager, assisting the Sales Team by coordinating materials, managing Public Relations, and organizing company-sponsored events. Alicia considers herself an amateur "foodie"and a serious aficionado of all things bacon.
