Erica Rimlinger was scolded all through her childhood to cease telling tales. However, she continued. Erica holds a grasp’s diploma in journalism from the College of Maryland and has spent her 25-year profession telling tales for shoppers which have ranged from nonprofit organizations to companies, and from magazines to America’s Most Wished.
Based mostly in Seattle, Erica is an avid hiker and backpacker and is overcoming a worry of heights to be taught mountain climbing, with blended outcomes to date. Her favourite a part of writing for HealthyWomen.org is sharing tales of girls who’ve overcome large adversity and gone on to advocate for themselves and others. Erica believes telling tales is what helps us make sense of life and all its joys and travails. She believes each girl has a narrative — and we should always by no means cease telling them.
