Alecia Matthews

Alecia Matthews joined FYC this summer and has settled right in to teaching and advising.  She finds that the close connection FYC advisors make with their students is very powerful, both for the students’ growth and her own.  Before joining FYC Alecia worked in Student Affairs for ten years, as a corporate trainer at Opryland (even though she is not a fan of country music), and in the US Army.  Having grown up in Buffalo, she is a die-hard Bills fan, but she does not miss the winter weather!  When she wants to kick back, she reads People magazine and celebrity websites, and checks out blogs on all the candidates – she likes to know the behind the scenes story.  But family is number one for her.  Her husband is a p.e. teacher and girls’ basketball coach at Woods Charter middle school, and she has two children, Janna and James.  She’s looking forward to continuing her doctoral studies, and believes that “you have to be open to opportunity.”
