Erica O’Sullivan
I’m a native New Yorker, born in the Bronx, raised in Queens, schooled in Manhattan, & lived all over Brooklyn as an adult. Currently, I’m working towards my Master of Science in Emergency Management at CUNY John Jay College while focusing on Youth Studies at CUNY School of Professionalism. I enjoy helping others & paying it forward. I value genuine connections, learning from people, hearing about other’s passions & how I can possibly help. My work has largely been on issues relating to economic and educational equality, immigrant and civil rights law, sustainable development, and mental health. I always get things done while smiling and dancing along the way. I’m a firm believer in the Law of Attraction & love to read self-development books. “Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely. Don't squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure...and they matter forever." –Andrew Andrews, Just Jones.
