Alicia first joined Madrone in 2022 as a co-op student while completing her biology degree and returned full-time after graduation. She brings a strong foundation in fieldwork, data collection, and clear communication across a wide range of environmental projects. Her training includes certifications in basic first aid (with CPR/AED), wilderness first aid, electrofishing, riparian assessments (RAPR), Streamkeepers, swiftwater rescue, avalanche safety, GPS field operations, and WHMIS, along with a Marine Radio Operator’s Certificate (ROC-M).

Her work spans wildlife monitoring (including acoustic surveys and call-playback), nest-box programs, baseline habitat and watershed assessments, raptor reconnaissance, water-quality monitoring, invasive plant management, and fish salvage to support in-stream works. Alicia often bridges both field and office workflows, supporting data management, spatial outputs, and clear, concise reporting that informs environmental planning and stewardship. She also brings a thoughtful design approach to project communications, using tools like Canva and Adobe Acrobat to create accessible outreach materials.

Outside of work, Alicia enjoys cold-water surfing, exploring the coast by kayak, and tending to her garden. She’s motivated by practical, hands-on conservation and by projects that bring communities, land stewards, and practitioners together to care for local ecosystems.
