I am delighted to announce that Alicia Riley joins the staff of the Women's Cancer Resource Center as the Latina Program Coordinator / Alameda County. Alicia succeeds Joanna Cuevas Ingram, who will attend law school this fall at UC Davis.

 

Most recently, at the Family Violence Prevention Fund, Alicia has trained and supervised more than 40 healthcare workers in new methods for screening, intervention and providing resources for domestic violence.  For the Haas Center for Public Service and the Office of Community Health at Stanford, she organized volunteer service trips to Latin American countries, providing cultural and linguistic translation, team building, course design, lectures and discussion leadership.  She is trained by Pathways Hospice to provide emotional and practical support to patients and caregivers.
 
Alicia earned her master's degree in Latin American Studies and Bachelor's degree in Human Biology from Stanford University. For her thesis, she worked closely with community health workers in Tijuana, Mexico.One of Alicia's colleagues described her interaction with volunteer health care workers:  "She made them feel part of changing the world."
 
Please join me in welcoming Alicia Riley to the Women's Cancer Resource Center.
