Work with me
Meet Erika
Location: Los Angeles, CA
When I was 10, I saw a photo of a hang glider in a book. I've been in love with hang gliding ever since.
Any day I’m in the air is a good day. But my heart belongs to low-altitude dune soaring--hovering a few feet above the ground and playing in the wind. Thanks to social media, I’ve shared my love of flight with hundreds of millions of people.
Making good videos isn’t an accident. My master’s degree in journalism honed my multimedia storytelling skills across platforms including video, text, photos, and social media. Combined with my unique and fun flying style, my content regularly gets millions of views.
I live for the challenge of mastering precise glider handling skills to elevate my dune flying to new levels, all while making it appear effortless. Most of all, I love inspiring other people, and especially other women, to achieve their own dreams of flying.
