Erika Walther has worked for Baltimore City Public Schools since 2012. While working as a case manager for youth in the juvenile justice system, Erika realized that relationships between students and their school communities were a major indicator for student success. Her conversations with young people working to escape the school-to-prison pipeline inspired her to pursue a career as an educator. Erika joined Urban Teachers in 2013 and never looked back. She's currently a Multi-Classroom Lead and supports K-5 students and Language Arts teachers in her building.
