She actively shows at state fairs, and national livestock shows. Passionate about mentorship, Erica supports youth in 4-H and FFA through hands-on coaching and virtual guidance, helping them gain confidence and experience in the livestock industry.

Her leadership background includes serving as the 2023 National Runner-Up Miss Agriculture USA, the 2020 New Mexico Cowbell Beef Ambassador, and a 2022 Chairman for the New Mexico Cowbell Beef Ambassadors.
