During her time at Clemson, Erica was a scholarship student athlete on the Clemson Cheerleading team. Erica is a cancer survivor and has had progressive vision loss since childhood as a result of her cancer treatment. As a student athlete with a visual disability, Erica recognized the opportunity to advocate for disability pride and self-advocacy during her time at Clemson. Since making that realization, Erica has become an entrepreneur, is the EQUIP Coordinator for the EQUIP Leadership Group with ABLE SC, and travels the country as a Professional Inspirational Speaker. Through speaking, Erica gets to use her personal story of overcoming barriers in life to teach audiences how to create an unstoppable mindset and reach their greatest potential! Erica is a marathon runner, fitness enthusiast, business owner, and lover of her crazy lab puppy named Grant!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:.25in;background:white'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>For:</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><br>Librarians, library staff, teachers, media specialists, and anyone who works with individuals who are blind or low vision.
