A runner and amateur yogini, Ericka is a God-fearing mama to two beautiful souls. Along with her husband Ryan, she navigates the intricacies of raising a biracial, binational, and bilingual family.
An MS in Applied Statistics and a keen eye for process efficiencies, have led Ericka to focus her (part-time) career on data consulting for nonprofits. She serves on the Boards at her kids' schools, and enjoys popping in their classrooms for story time whenever there's a chance.
Ericka’s greatest passion and purpose is to teach her kids to love God and to embrace their bicultural background.
