“ Game days are exciting , and after the first couple of games , I was really invested ,” says Alicia . “ When I ’ m not working to support our operations , I ’ m watching the game .”
The variety of tasks keeps Alicia busy .

When Mainebiz asked for her “ audacious goal ", Alicia replied , “ I want to continue to find creative and intentional ways to do good in my community . Always stay curious , lead by example and be kind .”
