Alicia Banson

I’m a criminology student and early-career professional focused on turning research, structure, and accountability into real-world support. I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology (Expected August 2026) and have consistently earned Dean’s List and President’s List recognition, plus Commonwealth Honors Program involvement. My coursework has strengthened my grounding in drugs, social control, law, the culture of punishment, legal environments of business, and research methods (qualitative and quantitative).

In my internship at Genesis Counseling Services, I supported client progress by organizing intake and treatment documents, writing progress notes on attendance and sobriety checks, and collaborating through the MID (Massachusetts Im pa ired Driving) group meetings for first offenders. I also serve as an Event Coordinator and Executive Board Member for the Framingham State Activities Board, coordinating timing/location logistics for 20+ events and using survey feedback to improve member and visitor experiences. Alongside that, I’ve contributed as a Student Representative on the Department Curriculum Committee, participating in monthly meetings to shape department curriculum, and I’ve maintained security desk professionalism by verifying identification, enforcing entry protocols, and logging incidents in daily reports.
