Erica Slowik received a B.A. in Global Studies with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society from the UCLA in 2015. In her senior thesis, she examined the unintended costs of transnational corporate involvement in local water provision services. Beyond the classroom, Erica pursued her additional passions of philanthropic service and competitive soccer, serving as President of the 90-member Bruin Belles Service Association and Captain of the Women’s Club Soccer team.
Upon graduating, Erica spent a year working as a Lab Assistant for the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, an environmental research institute that addresses complex water issues by creating a scientific foundation for water policy decisions. She particularly enjoyed field experiences that took her trudging through thick vegetation and remote streams to collect data samples.
Erica is thrilled to be a MESM student at Bren, where she is specializing in Water Resources Management. Appropriately, she often spends her time between classes catching waves at Campus Point. Erica also cultivates her longstanding desire to create a water-secure world through her work at Nataij, a boutique consultancy firm that assists developing regions with adaptive capacity and natural resources management.
