The vibrant, high-energy nerd audiences can't get enough of

If you do NOT want your audience to stay engaged, feel energized and empowered, or laugh, Dr. Erika is NOT the right choice to give a keynote at your next event.

But if you are looking for fresh content with a well-crafted balance of research and practical application delivered using engaging charisma, then she's ready to put her enthusiasm about her work into action for you and your audience!

Dr. Erika utilizes a range of strategies to ensure her clients get what they need so their teams can thrive. As a lifelong learner, she has acquired a variety of certifications related to talent development, performance consulting and emotional intelligence that supplement her bachelors, masters, and doctoral work in education and leadership development. Whether she's supporting small teams with big dreams, global companies striving to beat competitors to the next level of performance, nonprofit organizations looking to elevate how they fulfill their mission, or an individual in a new management role, she shows up with a captivating attitude about exploring what's possible. 

Hi! I'm Dr. Erika! An aggressive optimist and fierce authenticity advocate whose primary goal is to be a useful resource to others! And yes, I really DO eat cake for breakfast. I get to "do life" with my favorite Molecular Virologist, Dan, and we reside in Northern Colorado with two daughters who love encouraging and cheering for other people ALMOST as much as I do. When I'm not supporting the authentic growth of others from the stage or in a conference room, you may find me with a fancy coffee reading a good book, shopping for some new sparkly items to add to my wardrobe, soaking up "Broccoli Time" with my family (feel free to contact me just because you're curious about what "Broccoli Time" is), in a courtroom as a CASA advocating for youth and teens involved in abuse and neglect cases in Larimer County, or sitting with leaders in the Poudre School District discussing how the mental health needs of ALL students are being addressed. My academic and professional experiences have given me a unique collection of opportunities to develop the skills I need to support clients around the globe through keynotes, workshops, and individual coaching. If you're looking for someone who stands at the intersection of research and practicality, is a master storyteller, and who is passionate about data, documentaries, kitchen dance parties, and dessert (preferably tiramisu), I'm your girl ... and I'm glad you found me!
