Erica Lanier

Erica Lanier is a Community Events Coordinator at Georgia Cyber Academy. She started working with GCA in July 2021. Before arriving at GCA, she worked as an informal educator in children's museums and state parks for sixteen years. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Museum Studies with a minor in Public History from Georgia College & State University in 2013 and a Masters of Arts in Museum Management with a concentration in Museum Education from Middle Tennessee State University in 2016.

As a former park ranger, Erica has a love for the great outdoors. She loves to go kayaking and hiking any chance she gets. When you don't find her out in the woods or floating down a river, you will find her snuggled up with her favorite blanket reading a book by the window. She loves to cook, so much so that she wrote a cookbook in 2020. Erica looks forward to bringing more nature and cooking themed field trips to GCA in the near future.
