President

The teachers that Erica had in high school are what made her want to earn a degree
in Mathematics. Like them, she wants to make math exciting and engaging to students,
even though she knows the struggles that come with it. Erica takes great pride in
helping others, and will strive to continue this mission throughout her teaching career.
