Alicia is passionate about being a catalyst for change, lifelong learning, and inspiring others to be better than they were yesterday. She believes every event in life contains a lesson, and seeks to discover those lessons (sometimes learning them the hard way). Alicia enjoys infusing technology into the classroom seamlessly and effectively. She is a firm believer that relationships with students and stakeholders are everything. Alicia uses virtual reality, blended learning environments, gamification, and game-based learning to engage & empower students while coaching teachers through co-planning and co-teaching. She encourages teachers to take risks by giving them a safe place to fail during these co-teaching experiences.
She began a journey of true introspection and implementation through blogging about the first 50 books published under the Dave Burgess Consulting, Inc label during the summer of 2018, which she called #DBC50Summer. Never wanting to become stagnant again, she continues sharing her reflections and implementations at using the hashtag #DBCBookBlogs. She blogs frequently about #DBCBookBlogs and education at aliciaray.com and is active on Twitter as @iluveducating. She and her husband, Chris, have two intelligent, spunky, beautiful daughters, Bailey and Sophie.
