At UCI, she continued as the starting Middle Blocker on a full scholarship, playing a pivotal role in the team’s success.
After a successful volleyball career, Erika pursued a professional career in commercial insurance. She is married to Ben, a fellow UCI alumnus and former college volleyball player, and together they have three children: Payton, Ethan, and Tristan.
