Born February 9, 1981, in Berlin, Germany, Erika was the daughter of John Sr. and Jeanette (Kilgore) Walter. After her family's second tour in Manheim, Germany, she moved to Lawton, Oklahoma. There, Erika came to know Jesus and joined Cameron Baptist Church with her family.

She earned her bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Cameron University, followed by a master's degree in criminal justice from the University of Cincinnati. She also received her certificate in Paralegal Studies from Oklahoma State University.

In Oklahoma City, her roles included Case Analyst at Chickasaw Nation Industries, Inc.; Legal Assistant at James Dunn & Associates and GableGotwals; and Paralegal at National Litigation Law Group PLLC, Martin & Fielding PLLC, and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority.

Erika also held leadership roles as Secretary and Director of Legal Affairs for Girls Inspiring Generations International, Inc., contributed to the Susan G.
