Camp Fire Alaska | Light the Fire Within

Alicia Reando

Learning and Development Manager

 

Alicia is lifelong Alaskan passionate about supporting people in their health and professional growth. Born and raised in Anchorage, she is an enthusiastic and compassionately curious woman. She loves forming meaningful connections and aims to leave an environment better than when she found it. As a certified holistic health coach with a BS in psychology, and a seasoned member of the nonprofit sector, she is happy to have found a home with Camp Fire Alaska, where she can express her passion for facilitation and connection.

Alicia loves spending time with her husband, daughters, geriatric husky-shepherd mix, Lily, and tending to a small jungle of houseplants. When not working, she can be found listening to podcasts, watching documentaries, thrift shopping, or working on a myriad of interior design projects in her home.

Alicia strives to cultivate safe, authentic, and collaborative spaces and is so excited to bring her energy to the work of Camp Fire Alaska.

The Camp Fire Alaska main office operates on the ancestral land of the Dena’ina people. Camp Fire Alaska runs programing on the lands of the Athabascan, Yup’ik, Chup’ik, Sougpiaq, and Inupiaq peoples. We value and thank them for their current and historic commitment to and protection of this land. We pledge to assist, in partnership, in the environmental stewardship of these lands. We strive to learn more about the history of the Native peoples of Alaska and the historic trauma they have suffered. We commit to being an active ally through activities, actions, and organizational decisions and practices. We understand that this is a dynamic process through which our Land Acknowledgement practices, and statement will evolve as we receive feedback from tribal partners and acquire a deeper understanding of and from the Native peoples of Alaska.
