Executive Director

Erika Reed

Erika Reed is excited to bring her 15 years of experience in education, as both a classroom teacher and administrator, to the role of Executive Director.   Mrs. Reed earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from San Diego State University and went on to obtain her Master’s degree in Forensic Science from National University.  A decision to teach ESL in Seoul, South Korea, shifted her career path from working as a scientist to becoming a science teacher.  After earning her teaching credential in 6-12 Science with an ESL endorsement from Brandman University, she went on to earn an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in General Educational Administration from Central Michigan University.   Having joined the Escuela Avancemos! Team in 2023, as the ESL Administrator, Mrs. Reed has worked hard to foster rigorous instruction that is accessible to all.  She looks forward to continuing her involvement with the Wayne County Multilingual Collaborative Network and focusing her ongoing research and instructional improvement efforts on providing the highest quality of instruction in a safe and engaging environment.
