ERICA LEIGH AUSTIN!!!
Erica Leigh Austin was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the
Pacific Palisades. Both of her parents –
all three of them, actually – were teachers and Erica was blessed to have grown
up in an artistic, intellectual home.
Her summers were filled with club volleyball and serving as big sister
and role model for her younger sister, Jenny.
Erica attended the University of Michigan, where she studied
English and starred on the Wolverines’ Women’s Volleyball team. After college, she returned home to obtain
her MBA from Loyola Marymount University.
While studying at Loyola, Erica worked at the iconic Gladstone’s Seafood
Restaurant “where Sunset meets the PCH.”
Erica’s studies then took her abroad to France. There she immersed herself in the art and
culture of one of the world’s most cosmopolitan locales.
Currently a highly accomplished professional in healthcare
IT, Erica lives happily in the Venice Beach area. She enjoys yoga, spending time with family
and friends, and pushing Bella the Shih Tzu around in her stroller (Bella is
too lazy to walk more than 20 feet).
She is pleased to introduce you to her dog, Bella the Shih
Tzu, in this first installment of The Bella Chronicles. Learn more about Erica at www.ericaleighaustin.com.
