Erica has a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Texas A&M University. In addition to PREP Classes, she has taught elementary school and preschool, along with homeschooling a couple of her children. Her son attended PREP Classes, so she knows what a wonderful place it is from the perspective of a mom and a teacher!
Erica and her husband, Travis, have been married for 20 years. They have four children – a high schooler, two middle schoolers, and a preschooler! She has had the important job of stay-at-home mom during these years.
In her spare time, Erica and her family love to camp! On weekends, you can usually find them pulling their camper to a Texas State Park. Erica enjoys chaperoning her high schooler’s color guard dance competitions. She is also trying her hand at being a very beginner ukelele player.
Erica would love to have you join her for a wonderful year in English Class!!
