Alicia Young
Her passion for current events propelled her to Russia (where she presented the news in Moscow), the US, UK, South America and Europe. She has contributed to newsrooms around the world as an anchor, medical reporter, and foreign correspondent. Alicia has worked with legendary journalist Walter Cronkite (and was suitably terrified). In addition, she filed live reports from Rome on the death of Pope John Paul II, reported various presidential elections/inaugurations and covered the aftermath of the 8.8 earthquake that rocked Chile in 2010.
Alicia was once told off by Mother Teresa for not having children (she forgot) and has volunteered at a hospice and leprosy hospital in India. She has also kept busy by writing five awarding-winning nonfiction books.
Prior to journalism, Alicia was a social worker in the areas of child protection and mental health.
Outside of work, Alicia handles parasols and power-tools with equal ease (not really, but she helpfully holds the torch when needed).
Today, she is based in Australia.
