Hi, my name is Jalicia
and I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida (Grand Park and Out East to be specific). While I have always been a talker around close friends and family, my life has been a constant journey of finding myself through my voice. I began writing and performing spoken word poetry when I was a freshman at Stanton College Prep, and my love of language and communications grew from there.
I attended Florida State University from 2016-2020, majoring in Political Science and Public Relations. As a student I was one of five Truman Scholarship Nominees for the university, a Gilman Scholarship recipient, and a Social Science Scholar through the College of Social Sciences and Public Policy.
During this time, I interned at ESPMedia, a public relations firm with deep roots in the Tallahassee community. These experiences fine tuned my ability to craft clear, cohesive communication that proudly shows who you are.
In 2022, I began working at the JAX Chamber, where I currently serve as Member Relations Manager, sparking a new love for entrepreneurship that makes a difference. I created Real You Consulting in June 2023 with the mission of empowering clients to reach their goals through skillful communication and public speaking by being their most authentic selves.
In my free time, I enjoy reading the Dune series by Frank Herbert, singing karaoke and spending time with my cat Selena.
