Erica blends her formal and informal leadership education with her passion for law and creative problem-solving, driven by an entrepreneurial mindset. As a second-year law student, Erica actively applies her skills and experience to the legal field, resulting in a position as an associate writer for the International Law Review Journal at CWSL, a Distinguished Advocate Award for a class appellate competition, and Dean's List in her 1L year. Erica has demonstrated success as a General Manager in growing revenue and embedding corporate strategy at a local level, resulting in the successful market positioning of new company verticals and long-term mutually beneficial partnerships. More specifically, she created and launched her company's first community-based partnership program, designed for nationwide expansion. In addressing company culture, she has focused on core principles of building psychological safety, opportunities for professional growth, and autonomy with accountability, which resulted in a 400% increase in employee retention. Erica now brings this same energy, passion, and dedication to her studies and future legal career, focusing on international business transactions and litigation.
