About

Erica began her career working in production and writing topical jokes for late-night TV.  She earned an MFA in screenwriting, and her feature and TV scripts have made her an Academy Nicholl Fellowships Semifinalist and Quarterfinalist, and Page International Finalist.  She’s also witnessed two miracles in her lifetime; the birth of her son and meeting his father/her husband on Tinder.  In between diaper changes and Cocomelon, Erica is currently in post on the short film she co-wrote and co-directed.
