Erica Burman is the editor of WorldView magazine and oversees the organization’s communications via electronic newsletters and social media, including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.  She is the main contributor to NPCA’s Polyglot blog.

Erica has worked with National Wildlife Federation’s Corporate Conservation Council, the African environmental governance program of World Resources Institute (WRI), and as a researcher for a team of National Geographic documentary filmmakers developing a project on global population issues.

Erica was a Peace Corps education volunteer in The Gambia. In the 1990s, she lived in Botswana, where her husband served as the Associate Peace Corps Director for Administration. Peace Corps is truly a family affair: her older daughter was 10 weeks old when the family moved to Botswana and the youngest was born there. In Botswana, Erica consulted for WRI, the School for International Training and USAID.

Following her return to the U.S., she pursued a career as a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post and other publications.

She holds a B.A. in international relations from George Washington University and spent her junior year at the University of Munich. Following her Peace Corps service she obtained an M.A. in international relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
