Erika started with Solas Project in July 2023 as a youth worker with the Rua D12 team. Her prior experience as a youth justice worker in Ballymun helped inform her dedication to supporting young people navigate the difficulties resulting from involvement in the criminal justice system. In her own words:  

“Society often labels young people negatively and I am passionate about helping them realise their worth, potential and other amazing qualities; my job lets me do that and so much more!” 

Erika is from Dublin and holds a bachelor’s degree in criminology and psychology, along with a master’s degree in psychology. Outside of work, she enjoys the simple pleasures of spending quality time with friends.
