In college, Erick served as freshman representative in Student Council, followed by an internship with the Participatory Budgeting Project of the New York City Council, and various research experiences. He was also a recipient of the America Needs You (ANY) fellowship, the McNair Scholars Program fellowship, and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) scholarship, among other awards.
