Working with Erica has been a pleasure these past few months. She is kind, caring, and approaches our work with a curious attitude. In the role, we were given enough autonomy to innovate, and our instructions were clear and concise. Our team meetings were fun, lighthearted, and productive. I highly recommend Erica and English Islands for future leadership roles and projects.
