Erica was introduced to mock trial as a freshman in high school. In her senior year Erica competed as a witness with the team that placed 1st in Washington and 8th in the U.S. in 2008. Since graduation, she tackled coaching and logistics for her alma mater, while competing with the UW team.

Now that her undergrad days are behind her, Erica is pursuing a Master of Accountancy degree and has a job lined up with Ernst & Young. Outside of working and worrying, Erica enjoys number crunching, reading biographies and traveling. She also volunteers with TeenFeed and Rebuilding Together Seattle.
