A native of Chicago, Erica has always had a passion for acting,

dancing on various dance teams but Erica found her true calling when
she took up karate. Her martial arts instructor said on her first day
of class, "You have a natural kick". Erica continued in karate earning
her black belt and along the way competed all over the country in
martial arts tournaments earning several first place trophies in the
women's fighting division. Erica is also a former national fitness
competitor and was first runner up in the Chicago Ms. Fitness America
competition and appeared on the national Ms. Fitness America pageant on
ESPN and in Oxygen magazine. While still living in Chicago a
writer/producer friend suggested that she use her martial arts
background and athletic abilities to get into stunts. She sent her info
to Rick Le Fevour a veteran stunt coordinator in Chicago who
coordinated stunts for the television show "Early Edition". He hired
Erica to double one of the main actresses on the show and Erica worked
on the show for two years until it was canceled. After that Erica moved
to Los Angeles and since arriving has worked as a stuntwoman for some
of the top stunt coordinators, directors and actors in the business.
