Erika has been selected to be James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation Fellow in 2023. A James Madison Fellowship funds up to $24,000 of each Fellow’s course of study towards a master’s degree. She is one of 50 recipients selected from around the United States. Recipients are required to teach American history, American government, or civics in a secondary school for at least one year for each year of fellowship support. The award is intended to recognize promising and distinguished teachers, to strengthen their knowledge of the origins and development of American constitutional government and expose the nation’s secondary school students to accurate knowledge of the nation’s constitutional heritage.
