Erika began her narration journey in YA novels, but continues to tell all genres of stories. She loves nothing more than losing herself in a good Romance or Historical Fiction. Her extensive background in theater helps her create exciting and unique worlds and specific, heart-warming characters. Her classically trained soprano lends itself to finding the musicality of accents, characters and tones of various types of narration. A hardworking and proud member of Actors Equity Association, SAG/AFTRA and AGVA, she has studied, performed and told stories through many mediums.

Performing at theaters across California, Erika has had the pleasure of playing such iconic roles as Stella in A Streetcar Named Desire, Belle and other roles in A Christmas Carol for 13 years running at the Tony award winning theater: South Coast Repertory, as well as Georgie in Heisenberg and Lisa in Collected Stories (Desert Theater League nominee for Best Actress) and the historic Martha Jefferson in 1776 (for which the show won an LA Weekly award). Also, at South Coast Repertory she originated the role of Helen in the World Premiere of An Italian Straw Hat and has been on their stage every year in the last decade. She has also worked along side Ms. Gretchen Cryer in her West Coast Premiere and revival of I’m Still Getting My Act Together at Laguna Playhouse.

Erika received her BA from the School of Theater, Film and Television at UCLA. She also enjoys the chance to mentor other artists and has choreographed, directed, and coached middle and high schools around LA and Orange County. Beyond acting, Erika enjoys learning new things and has been studying American Sign Language and learning to play the violin. She is an avid runner and a yogi. And most rewarding, mom to Jack!
