At only 15 years of age, Erika has lived in seven different countries all the while attending prestigious IB International schools. Having always loved performing, Erika also attended Stagedoor Manor in New York as well as ISTA in Australia and Beijing. In 2014, she decided to pursue an acting career. 'Corki Chang' in 'Make it Pop' was her second ever professional audition.
Her heritage is as diverse as her overseas experiences are broad. Having a father who is Chinese-Malaysian and a mother who is Dutch, Ukrainian-Canadian, Erika has developed a maturity and global awareness rarely seen in others her age, as well as a love and appreciation for all cultures and all heritages. Tom Lynch describes Erika as follows, "Erika carries herself in an ethereal manner, It is at one point sophisticated and another, innocent. I have no idea how she does it (...) but it shines on TV."
Nurtured by her unique worldly upbringing, adapting to and flourishing in new environments is what Erika does effortlessly.
