Erica joined OPT as part-time administrator in October 2024.  She returned to live in Oxford after 20 years working as a podiatrist in Gloucestershire.  A modern-languages graduate in German and French, Erica spent 20 years working in European offices in London and Berlin in administration and tourism.  It was the experience of living in European city centre apartments with good public transport that set off a real enthusiasm for well-designed city living.

Out of work Erica is a keen hill, mountain and city walker with an interest in the opera and Argentine tango.
