From the start of her career, Erica strived to highlight the importance of Latinx presence in Hollywood. She was invited to participate in CBS' Diversity Showcase, sponsored by CBS and the Screen Actors Guild, displaying minority talent in the entertainment industry. She brings that same energy to 2020 and is working on amplifying the voices of Latinx actors while developing an upcoming online project. She is also heavily involved in her community with a focus on equity in public education via a dual immersion program. She is a proud mother of two young children and currently resides in Los Angeles.
