About

EDUCATION I am originally from Massachusetts, and completed my undergraduate degree at Stonehill College in North Easton, MA, in 2018. At Stonehill, I majored in Philosophy with minors in English and Political Science. I entered college without much certainty about what I wanted to study, but am thankful to have attended a school with a philosophy requirement, because after about one week of PHL100, I was hooked. After graduating from Stonehill, I moved to Oxford, OH to complete an M.A. at Miami University. After completing my degree at Miami, I moved even further west to Seattle to begin my Ph.D. at the University of Washington in 2020. At UW, I am also completing a graduate certificate in Science, Technology, & Society Studies. I am happy to share a list of my graduate-level coursework.

This is a photo of Erica, a white person with dark hair pulled into a loose bun and secured with a multicolored cloth headband. Erica is smiling, and the blurred background has a dark red tree. Erica is wear a black fitted t-shirt under a loose, light-blue chambray button-down shirt.

OTHER I love reading fiction, especially horror, psychological thrillers, and mysteries. I recently completed the 2025 Chicago Marathon as a fundraiser for Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) in memory of my sister-in-law Amy Kawazoe who died in 2023 from acute promyelocytic leukemia. I was formerly a yoga instructor, and in recent years have gotten back into my regular practice. I follow NCAA football quite closely, and am still reveling in the UW Huskies' performance in the 2023-4 season.

I have two nephews, Charlie and Henry, and they're my favorite people in the universe.
