Alecia Solorzano joined the WENY News team as a Multimedia Journalist in June 2024. Previously, she held an internship at the station that began in August of 2023.

Alecia graduated Magna Cum Laude from Ithaca College in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism alongside minors in Theatre and Politics. During her time at IC, she was involved in several on campus organizations including Ithaca College Television. She served as an Assistant Producer and Anchor during this time. 

Alecia hails from Wallkill, New York where she graduated high school in 2021. At Wallkill Senior High School, she was heavily involved in music and theatre which led to her writing for an online theatre magazine by the name of Curtain Call. She has been a contributing writer for the publication since October 2018 which, ultimately, started her passion to pursue journalism. 

In her free time, you might find Alecia spending quality time with her family, friends, and loved ones. She also enjoys playing video games, scrolling through Instagram and TikTok, and, of course, listening to Taylor Swift. 

While Alecia is somewhat familiar with the Twin Tiers area due to attending IC, she is excited to continue exploring the community and learning more about the people who make it such a great place!
