Eliza B. Erickson is the Editor for Teaching Essentials at Corwin and the Editor-in-Chief at Corwin Connect. While she was born and raised in South Texas, Eliza has lived in Southern California since attending Pepperdine University, where she graduated with a degree in Writing & Rhetoric. Eliza calls a high school campus home, serving as a dorm parent at an independent school where her husband teaches 5th Grade. On the rare occasions she isn’t living and breathing books and education, you’ll probably find her baking bread, dancing through the aisles of Trader Joe’s, or restoring vintage furniture.
