Fun Facts About Erika

  • She has three daughters that are her world!
  • Her husband is a veteran who spent 20 years in the Air Force EOD!
  • They love traveling – especially exploring National Parks!

Erika is a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor. Prior to starting her education in accounting, she completed a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Clinical Psychology. After spending a year working for family services, she stepped away from work life to raise her family. 10 years later, thanks to technology, she was able to complete a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Accounting while still home with her family, as well as gain important experience working for various companies. 

Part of that 10 years was spent living in Europe, thanks to the military. Her husband was on the US Air Force Bomb Squad and was stationed in Germany for four years. It was an amazing experience and their only regret is that they didn’t travel more. Favorite places included Venice, London, Vianden, and Schwangau. Her youngest daughter was even born in Germany.
