Meet the Coordinator and Educator
Hello! My name is Erika and I am the Community Educator here at JACY House. My favorite part about my job is that I get to teach kiddos and adults about child abuse prevention! I've always been passionate about helping others and I'm so thankful I get to do that here every day. In my free time I like to read, spend time with my friends and family, try new classes in the community, travel, and cuddle with my cats! During the summer you'll find me kayaking or spending time by the water.
