As a freelance line producer/production supervisor in Los Angeles and New York City, Erica’s credit list includes more than 150 music videos, as well as numerous commercial, docu-reality, and still photography projects.

As a freelancer, Erica has pursued her long-held interest in non-fiction educational content, teaching herself how to edit, shoot, and produce her own work. 

After moving to Massachusetts, she invested her time in generating online media content for a small client base of organizations whose missions were to educate and better engage their audiences. This led to her accepting a position at the Cambridge Public School’s Teachers’ Resource Center as the district’s full-time media technical assistant. Here, her production skills were utilized to help teachers access and generate media content that supported student learning.
