About

Alicia Menendez is a communications consultant and writer based in Washington, DC.  In 2005, after graduating from Harvard College, she joined  Jon Corzine’s successful 2005 gubernatorial race, and served as a a primary surrogate on her father’s successful 2006 bid for the US Senate.  Since then, she has worked as a television  correspondent, political outreach manager for Rock the Vote, and as a freelance producer for Big Think, where she interviewed  Senators Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

At Harvard, Menendez’s senior honors thesis on women’s social capital drew the attention of  US News and World Reports, The New York Times, and The Harvard Crimson, which named Menendez one of the 15 most interesting members of the class of 2005. That same year, Menendez was selected to deliver the undergraduate commencement address.

Menendez is originally from Union City, NJ. She has no idea why this is written in the third person, but agrees that the glamour shot above is hilarious.
