Erica Rimlinger
Erica Rimlinger was scolded throughout her childhood to stop telling stories. Nevertheless, she persisted. Erica holds a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Maryland and has spent her 25-year career telling stories for clients that have ranged from nonprofit organizations to corporations, and from magazines to America’s Most Wanted.
Based in Seattle, Erica is an avid hiker and backpacker and is overcoming a fear of heights to learn rock climbing, with mixed results so far. Her favorite part of writing for HealthyWomen.org is sharing stories of women who have overcome tremendous adversity and gone on to advocate for themselves and others. Erica believes telling stories is what helps us make sense of life and all its joys and travails. She believes every woman has a story — and we should never stop telling them.
