As executive director of Expanding Frontiers Research, Erica conducts engaging interviews with journalists, researchers and experts on a variety of social and technical issues, including cults, cybersecurity, the environment, and the overlapping of the intelligence and UFO communities. She also facilitates the Expanding Frontiers Archive, an online group of special collections inspired by a physical archive Erica maintains that includes files representing the life work of select pioneers of UFO research. Due to the organization's effective use of public records requests and subsequent reporting, Expanding Frontiers Research was the recipient of an annual state-wide award from the Utah Investigative Journalism Project. Erica's investigation of UFOs includes conducting hundreds of interviews on her popular UFO Classified podcast; a far above-average familiarity with what she came to assess as the unverified claims surrounding the Skinwalker Ranch; and serving as state director of Utah MUFON before becoming disappointed in the organization's leadership. Erica studied music and voice at the University of Utah and is a longtime successful Salt Lake City business owner in the health and wellness industry.</p>
