SPEAKING:
AI, Storytelling, and
all things content!

HI, I’M ERICA

Want a speaker who knows their stuff and won’t put your audience to sleep? Hi, I’m Erica—an Emmy-winning video nerd turned national speaker, here to make topics like AI, storytelling, and on-camera confidence surprisingly fun (and actually useful).

I’ve led keynotes and workshops for organizations like Target, 3M, AARP, and stages across the country. Whether you’re planning a conference, team training, or a workshop on content creation or AI prompting, I’ll bring insight, humor, and a whole lot of “aha” moments.

Based in Minneapolis–St. Paul, but available virtually or wherever curiosity calls.

04 — DIY Smartphone Content Creation

I’ve been teaching this course since the first iphones were a thing! At first, it started out as a way to empower clients who couldn’t afford my services. Now? Many of my clients use these skills to test content between video shoots, and to figure out which topics are resonating with their audience. You’ll learn tech tips for your phone, framing, audio, lighting, and everything in between!

“This event was full of brainiacs on AI. But, by far people at this conference liked her presentation the best. If you want people to laugh and learn, you should hire her!”
