Erika Eamer is a university student passionate about dismantling barriers to inclusivity, equity, and diversity across local, provincial, and institutional spheres; being motivated by love for her community and her desire to cultivate meaningful relationships with its inhabitants, Erika prioritizes being actively involved in her community through volunteering.

With a focus on empowering women and gender-diverse students and individuals from other marginalized communities, Erika acts as one of twelve representatives for Albertan youth stakeholders and consistently utilizes her ability to analyze gender-based issues using a gender and equity lens as a member of the University of Alberta’s WISEST (Women in Scholarship, Engineering, Science, and Technology) Youth Council. This analytical approach has enabled Erika to contribute meaningfully to discussions, propose effective solutions, and mediate opposing perspectives, skills she extends to her work as an operations coordinator with Superposition Toronto, a non-profit dedicated to bridging the gender gap in STEM.
