Hi! I'm Erica, and I'm the 2023 Toronto Rose. I'm so proud to be representing such an incredible city, rich with culture everywhere you go.
As an Irish dancer of 17 years, I had the opportunity to compete in many cool places, which taught me that every day is a chance to learn something new. I've recently completed a Bachelor of Commerce in Integrated Business and Humanities followed by a Master of Environment and Sustainability. Can you tell I love learning?
I currently work at a local college in the Energy and Power Innovation Centre as a project manager. I absolutely love what I do because I help real people with real-world challenges through sustainability solutions.
I'm passionate about protecting our Earth's natural resources and hope that I can one day share this passion as a university professor. In my spare time, you'll find me reading, doing a crossword, learning Italian, or volunteering with ALS Canada and the board of directors of my local library.
My paternal grandparents were born in Ballinasloe and Portumna, Co Galway. I can't wait for an amazing celebration of Irish culture and heritage in Tralee, building new friendships and wonderful memories along the way!
