2022-2023 Co-Chairs of Dallas LIP

Erika graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies, with a specialization in ESL, from the University of North TX. She realized teaching high school was her passion and taught Family and Consumer Science at Garland High School for four years. She resigned from teaching to pursue a Masters of Humanities, with a concentration in Psychology from the University of Dallas in 2019. During her time there, she had the opportunity to study abroad in Italy, Cuba, and Costa Rica. She has been mentoring high school and college age girls for almost a decade. As a Teacher, Mentor, Aunt, and Mother of two, she is passionate about lifting up young Latinas and supporting them to be the curators of their success. She has been involved with LIP in various capacities for seven years, and is looking forward to overseeing the program. All the Chairs (and HWNT members) before her have created a strong foundation and she can’t wait to build on it!
