Originally from Warden, Washington, Allycia Gonzales is a proud Wenatchee Valley College alumna, former collegiate student-athlete, and current Faculty Counselor at WVC.
Allycia attended Wenatchee Valley College from 2016–2018, where she competed on the Knights softball team while earning her Associate of Arts and Sciences Direct Transfer Degree. She continued her education at Eastern Washington University, earning a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work, along with minors in Psychology and Sociology.
Before returning to WVC in the fall of 2024, Allycia served as the District Social Worker for Cascade School District in Leavenworth, Washington, from 2022–2024.
Sports have always played an important role in Allycia's life. A three-sport athlete in high school and collegiate softball player, she understands firsthand the dedication, challenges, and rewards that come with being a student-athlete. Although a career-ending injury cut her playing days short, her passion for athletics never faded. Today, she continues to stay connected to sports through coaching softball, attending sporting events, and supporting athletes.
Allycia is excited to serve as the Athletic Liaison for the WVC Women's Basketball program because she understands that being a student-athlete is about much more than what happens on the court.
Having experienced the challenges of balancing academics, athletics, and college life, she hopes to be a positive influence, trusted resource, and encouraging voice for the team.
Her goal is simple:Â to support student-athletes, celebrate their accomplishments, and help them succeed both on and off the court.
When she's not working or coaching, Allycia enjoys supporting local businesses, attending sporting events, spending time with family, exploring the outdoors, and enjoying adventures with her friendly Golden Retriever–Labrador.
