“Erika is a master teacher. I’ve been full-time faculty at law schools for twenty five years and have degrees from Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford. I don’t know anyone who makes any subject come alive as well as Erika does with teaching facial recognition as well as meditation. She’s brilliant, well-read, emotionally attuned, and flawlessly organized.”
