Hailing from Indiana, her hearing family discovered the core to her life: ASL. Thanks to Indiana School for the Deaf, her family grew the passion in advocating for Bilingualism. During Erica's Gallaudet University years, she was involved with Student Body Government & Protest. Because she loves people, she received her B.A. degree in Communication Studies & Sociology in 2007.
When Erica first got a job at Deaf News Network, her job was to create a new avenue of media: visually oriented TV shows for the Deaf community. At the same time, there was a new organization, Deaf Youth USA, targeting for 18-30 years old. Both of them inspired her by discovering the missing links in Deaf world: leadership and media.
