  1. Hi Erika!

    I am an incoming MEM student and wow I’m just so thankful I happened to come across your blog. Your interdisciplinary work and background are so in line with what I’m looking for in the program and it’s just really special to see it play out so wonderfully for you. Just wanted to let you know 🙂
