She has been involved in numerous youth organizations in her community such as the Yaticka youth group and Soufriere Action Theatre (S.A.T.).

Licia is currently a theatre arts teacher at the Choiseul Secondary School. Licia believes that the St. Lucian Carnival is a true celebration of the diversity that exists among our people and is one time in the year when we all unite as one people and enjoy ourselves and celebrate the life we have. She believes that the National Carnival Queen Pageant is the most prestigious pageant in St. Lucia and one which pushes you to be your best and develop holistically as an individual and this is something which she is striving towards. Licia was inspired by the previous contestants who represented Soufriere in the National pageant who excelled such as the 2012 Carnival Queen, Jeanelle Desir.
