“Erica was one of the most strategic, results driven, problem solvers I worked with during our time together at MMGY Global. She excelled at developing campaigns based on market research and insights that mapped company objectives and goals to programming ideas that would generate the type of strategic media coverage to help a brand grow - both in terms of awareness as well as consumer conversion / sales.
Erica has experience with both corporate and consumer communications and always understood the importance of the two holistically working together. She has great judgement and instinct, something that helps her excel when faced with a challenge or a crisis / reputational situation for a brand. Her clients trusted her council and brand executives always looked to her for the solid preparation she provided prior to interviews. On a more personal note, Erica is one of the most professional and poised colleagues I have worked with and was always eager to help and offer advice to colleagues as well as actively participate as a manager in creating a workplace for teams that was inspiring and engaging.”

“Erica was a proactive, creative corporate communications manager for McCann Worldgroup. She worked closely with the CEO, sought feedback from all members of the management team, including myself, and listened to employees. We worked together on internal communications and she was responsive, professional, and always a great sounding board for responding to challenges and generating new ideas. Erica would be an asset to any company seeking a strategic professional for a communications role.”

“Erica was one of the best hires I made during my year heading Weber Shandwick's Bangkok office. She's extraordinarily hard working and eager to learn. A great attitude went a long way in getting through some very challenging assignments. Her ability to speak Thai and integrate with the team was invaluable. In short, Erica has a very bright career ahead of her, be it in Thailand or elsewhere. She's the rare example of a foreigner who can fit in with and respect the local culture yet maintain a Western outlook in terms of how business needs to be done at a MNC. I truly hope I have the opportunity to work with her again in some capacity.”
— Joel Weiden, Co-Founder & Managing Director, East Point Advisors (former manager at Weber Shandwick)
“Woe to the interns who followed Erica at Renegade. Her impact at the agency was so complete, so unmistakable, that the creative department actually used her as a unit of measurement to gauge the quality of subsequent interns. If a doe-eyed intern could scratch out a "1/2 Erica", we considered them pretty exceptional. Erica's curiosity about the ad industry, the creative process, and, hell, the world itself made her an absolute joy to work with.
She was a fixture in creative meetings and accepted any challenge without hesitation. She concepted, She wrote briefs. She devised strategy. She crafted ads (damn good ones, too). There was a maturity to her that instilled confidence in everyone who worked with her: If you gave her a task that day, you'd sleep well that night knowing that she'd not only complete it: she'd absolutely own it. Any organization looking to hire a young creative would be well-served to give Erica a good look. Because you're not going to do any better. I promise that.”
