Testimonials
“Since joining the statewide disaster response preparedness campaign in 2020, Alicia has helped to increase our engagement with community stakeholders and improve our presentation materials. Her immense disaster experience background and use of real-world examples of resiliency at work has been invaluable to our efforts. In addition, their quick turnaround and creativity in approach has helped to make our work efficient and lively.”
Jesse Torres, ArroyoWest LLC, Partner Outsmart Disaster Program
“Alicia has been an incredible partner for our organization as we’ve sought to understand the nuance of the Emergency Management space, and the feasibility of how new business capabilities integrate into that space over time. She has been an amazing advocate for exploring a broad range of needs. Her assessments of opportunities and challenges have been invaluable in helping us understand where we need to strategically be in the future.”
Matt Cohen, Off the Grid
“Alicia has really become a trusted partner to our company. Her communication is top-notch; she is proactive about reaching out to team members and closing all communication loops. She has often been able to get things completed before a deadline, both for the client project work we have done together and even in the pre-project phase of collaborating on proposals for new work. Alicia is quite simply a positive human to have on the team.”
Tamara (Tammy) Chapman, Owner/Founder, Tamarack MGMT
“Alicia has been very helpful in our project and making it represent our objectives, including maintaining the simplicity and accessibility for our end users of our work. Her work ethic supports our objectives FIRST. Understanding how our project serves our stakeholders in multiple ways and her ability to keep those stakeholders in mind through project development has been critical in the success of our work. Alicia’s efforts will result in CREW’s ability to provide education, outreach and the sharing of best practices, nationally. Alicia is great at maintaining communications, follow up, and delivery. Her ‘get it done’ attitude has helped save time and energy, and kept confusion to a minimum.”
