PASSIONS & PERSONALITY.
Hey,
I’m Alicia, CEO For One Month 2023 and a recent graduate 🎓 who was lucky enough to call Switzerland 🇨🇭 home for the past 6 years while completing my Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in International Hospitality Management and Design.
Welcome to my website! I hope this space will provide you with an exclusive look into who I am, what I do, and what inspires me.

This is me in a nutshell…
A foodie with a passion for people with a drive to create positive change
My Story.
I was born in Windhoek, Namibia and was lucky enough to call Africa home!
Throughout my childhood, I spent a lot of time travelling the country and developing a deep sense of understanding of the people, places, animals, history and cultures that shapes Namibia.
As the daughter of a teacher and a tour guide, I was always encouraged to explore, connect and learn from the world’s best teacher, mother nature. Through camping and travel, I developed my passion for cooking, hosting friends and family and of course enjoying the various delicacies on offer.
I attended the international school in Windhoek and this only strengthened my belief, in the power of diversity, especially as a person of mixed race my identity doesn’t fit into a "conventional box”. The connections I made throughout my time in school and at university exposed me to different ways of thinking, cultures and customs.
For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about exploring my interests and continuing to work on myself. This is ultimately why I grew to love inline hockey, swimming, and volleyball and how I was able to further my passions for sport, music and art.
I have always had a competitive nature and a calling to help others and this is what has paved the way for my past leadership positions and currently to continue developing my leadership skills and style. I am grateful for all opportunities I have had to bring together groups of people to share, create and discover.
My story is only beginning and I have written only two chapters, but I look forward to what lies ahead in whichever direction that may be.
So stay tuned…
My True Self
As part of my CEO For One Month Journey, I was asked how to showcase my true self?
This is a question where I believe your response is in a state of constant flux. Who you are is molded by your experience, the people you meet, where you are, and what you learn. It is constantly changing- yes there may be elements that stay with you like a red thread through your story but who we are is something that we can constantly work on in order to develop ourselves into the version we strive to be.
A cyclical process of renewal, reworking, and constant change.
The below video describes my true self in my most recent role as CEO and in this state of life.
