Alicia Quarles Biography

Alicia Quarles is an Emmy Award-winning journalist and television personality whose career includes work across major American media platforms. A summa cum laude graduate of the University of Southern California, Quarles began her career with The Associated Press as a reporter and producer in Los Angeles, covering events such as the Golden Globes, Grammys, Academy Awards, Billboard Awards, and the death of President Reagan. Over nearly a decade at the Associated Press, she advanced from producer to overseeing East Coast TV entertainment operations, then to North American video editor, and ultimately to global entertainment and lifestyles editor. In that capacity, Quarles managed a staff of more than 60 and anchored live coverage of the Oscars and Grammys.

Quarles has conducted interviews with prominent figures in pop culture and covered significant news events, including President Obama's inauguration, the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Sonia Sotomayor, and the death of Michael Jackson. As a reporter at E! News, she interviewed subjects such as Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, Eli Manning, and Anna Wintour, and reported on major events like Fashion Week and the Primetime Emmy Awards. Quarles has also served as a special correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," anchored on Headline News, and hosted specials on VH1 and Fuse.

As an Emmy Award-winning contributor at "Good Morning America 3," the third hour of ABC's "Good Morning America," Quarles was recognized by Cablefax as one of the most powerful women in media. She served as senior news correspondent for "DailyMail TV" for five seasons. Cosmopolitan featured Quarles in its 50th anniversary issue as one of 50 forward-thinking individuals, alongside Hillary Clinton, Ava DuVernay, and Taylor Swift. Her writing has appeared in outlets including Google, Yahoo News, USA Today, The Washington Post, Ebony, Essence, People, and Time.

Quarles is also known for her advocacy on mental health in the media industry. After experiencing a mental health breakdown that she livestreamed on Instagram, she used the experience to foster open conversation about mental health challenges in professional environments. Her transparency contributed to broader discussions about destigmatizing mental health struggles in the workplace.

Quarles is the executive producer and co-host of "Positively Charlotte," a platform highlighting restaurants, charities, and small businesses in Charlotte. She serves on the boards of Bright Pink, an organization focused on prevention and early detection of ovarian and breast cancer, and City College Center for the Arts.
