A multi-sport athlete, she went on to play several sports in college and earned the title of Walk-On MVP for Westmont College’s soccer team, where she later graduated with a degree in Economics and Business. After nearly 30 years coaching youth athletes, Erica launched TeenSportsRadio — a vibrant radio show and podcast that has become a powerful platform for teens, nonprofits, and local businesses across Santa Barbara and beyond. Over the last 15+ years, she has donated over $1 million in free advertising back to the community, turning the spotlight on hundreds of youth and community voices that might otherwise go unheard.

Her creative spirit, matched with a fierce commitment to service, fuels everything she does. She actively raises funds for www.SBWellness.org, volunteers with the Theosophical Books for the Blind, Inc., and feeds the unhoused in her community each week.
