When she is not taking care of her small children, Erica finds solace in her garden. Over the years, her gardening focus shifted from flowers to vegetables, now growing more than she and her family can eat. Planting about any vegetable you can think of – peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and asparagus to name a few – Erica mostly enjoys watching her veggies grow and then troubleshooting any issues that occur. To her, the most satisfying part of gardening is learning what works and what doesn’t in each harvest.![]()

In a world where Covid doesn’t exist, Erica would be making a trip to the beach any time she could. Each year, she and her group of friends make a trip to Florida to reunite and relax. Although they haven’t been able to do so this year or last, they do have plans to reunite in Nashville in the fall to pick up right where they left off.![]()

As life gets busy and even sometimes overwhelming, Erica recommends that you always make time for yourself. Find something that you like to do and prioritize it in your day.
