Erica Neal

Mentor

After four years as a Designer/Art Director with a Chicago advertising agency and three years as a volunteer Art/Drama Teacher, Erica decided to leave corporate work and pursue a more rewarding, youth focused career. After completing a professional leadership development program with Steppenwolf Theater’s education department, she began her search for a creative “home” and found it in Digital Youth Network.

With a background in Fine Art as well as Design, Ms. Vaughn has also worked as a Scenic Designer/Painter with ETA Creative Arts Foundation. No matter where her journey takes her she will always have a heart for creativity, its place in our communities and in the lives of our children.
