Kayla Erickson’s Biography

Hi there, my name is Kayla Erickson (née Nelsen).
I produce multimedia news for Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune. My news stories cover topics in business, development, education, government, environment and human interest for Lakeville and Rosemount, MN. I collaborate with community members and leaders to understand local topics of interest.

I also work as a communications associate for Athena Communications, LLC, where I produce editorial content internally and for our nonprofit and government clients in Milwaukee. I collaborate with team members to strategize for clients in the areas of event planning, social media and public relations.

My passion for environmental journalism and nonprofit work stems from my values of community engagement and health. I have a background in serving at various summer camps and in my local church. I am always eager to learn new skills and explore new opportunities in the media and environmental fields. Feel free to reach out to me at kaylaerickson2002@gmail.com.
