After graduating, Alicia worked as a Property Negotiator and Manager for a Central London firm negotiating contracts, resolving disputes and devising plans for property development. She went on to work as a property development and construction Legal Assistant whilst studying the Legal Practice Course. After the course she trained with a firm and qualified as an Employment solicitor for individual and commercial clients. Alicia transitioned into finance, working on a project for a large bank and auditing firm dealing with financial compliance, before working as a Human Resources Advisor for a global investment bank. Here she advised managers and managed employee related matters ensuring practices were followed in line with employment laws.
