As Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer for Shumaker, Erica serves as a revenue driver, client relations resource, and marketing strategist for the firm. With a 15-year background in sales, building relationships and rapport comes naturally to her as she meets with clients to learn more about the changes they may be facing in their business, introduces new businesses and referral sources to Shumaker attorneys, and meets one-on-one with the attorneys for strategy sessions to talk about future opportunities and how they may be able to serve their existing clients. According to Erica, each day she can meet someone new is a great day for her.
A non-lawyer and creative person, at heart, Erica brings a unique perspective to the table as she considers ways to facilitate connections and show our clients that we are not only working for them on legal matters, but for their overall business growth and success.
When she does take time for herself, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their two children boating along the Hillsborough River or cheering on the Florida Gators and the Tampa Bay Lightning. She also enjoys family dinners, any type of live music, and learning to play tennis.
