Hello! My name is Erica Bruckner and I’m a second year here at UCSB. I grew up in Santa Clarita, California, which is just north of Los Angeles. I come from a very close-knit family and have two older brothers, Michael and Steven, and 10 cousins who are like siblings to me. In high school, I played tennis and was the editor-in-chief of my school’s yearbook. I applied to UCSB because I love the beach and the laid-back vibe of Isla Vista and I believe the choice to go to school here was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m work at a coffee shop in SB and am also active in my sorority, which keeps me pretty busy. In my spare time I like to hang out with my friends, watch Netflix, and go window shopping in downtown SB. I’m a sociology major and am pursuing a minor in clinical psychology. My dad is a former public defender who now works to implement programs to make LA county prisons more rehabilitative and stop the “revolving door” of the justice system. The exposure to my dad’s job sparked my passion for social justice issues and I’m planning to pursue a career in social work after I leave UCSB to (hopefully) follow in my dad’s footsteps.
