About the Author

Erica is a 32 year old cervical cancer advocate who is out living cancer for the third time. When she isn’t advocating for cervical cancer and HPV awareness as a Cervivor Ambassador, she previously oversaw the STEM program at the school where she was an educator; she now helps coordinate the robotics program. Erica enjoys spending time with her husband and son in their Indianapolis neighborhood, as well as pursuing new and adventurous hobbies. She can most recently be found fawning over kayaks and daydreaming of returning to whitewater kayaking with First Descents, an organization for young adults impacted by cancer. Erica was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 27. After two recurrences, countless surgeries, chemo treatments, radiation, and scans, her cancer was deemed to be incurable. It was time to intentionally start living life.   Today she continues cancer treatments, when her body can handle it, and live her life to the fullest. She has stopped letting cancer dictate what she can and cannot do. You can see more about her story and additional tips and tools at www.livinglifewithcancer.com.
