Erica has been a resident of Maryland since she was born at Howard County General Hospital. She was raised in Columbia and has lived all over the state of Maryland. After completing her Bachelors' degree in English from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, Erica applied to teach a special needs child in Prince George's County. After one year, she then received her own classroom teaching second grade. But Erica was interested in finding a career where it was different every day. She knew she would miss teaching greatly, but she was drawn to meeting new people and local real estate seemed intriguing. As she became experienced in real estate in a local company, she was asked to be the lead mentor for people changing careers to real estate. Erica and her husband Billy have three children and live in Montgomery County.
