Bio:
Erica has traveled to five continents as a student and as a teacher. After finishing her Spanish degree, she worked as an English teacher to the Chilean Navy and has enjoyed various forms of teaching ever since. It was through her work with New Orleans that she became interested in community development and was inspired to form a Brooklyn based fundraising and public education organization. Erica is thrilled to take part in a U.S. fellowship where she plans to contribute her Kiva education to domestic economic sustainability. Much of her determination comes from her undying curiosity and her love for dance.
