RISE 2 IT PRODUCTIONS is proud to have top motivational/keynote speaker Erica Alfaro join our team of professionals! Erica attained massive attention in 2019 when her graduation pictures went viral and made headlines worldwide (e.g. CNN, Fox News, The Huffington Post, Yahoo News, Univision, Telemundo, and many more).

Since 2019, Erica has undoubtedly become one of the nation’s most sought-after speakers, sharing her personal story of hardship and triumph. Her extraordinary ability to translate her narrative in both English and Spanish has led to standing ovations at conferences across the country. She prides herself on being able to reach all age groups in the elementary, middle school, high school, and college/university sectors. Moreover, Mrs. Alfaro has been trained by one of the world’s most renowned motivational speakers in Les Brown. Naturally, this has enabled her to expand her mastery to more speaking opportunities in the personal and professional development arenas. 

Aside from being one of today’s most requested keynote speakers in the industry, Erica is an award-winning author and educational advocate. With Central California roots, and now residing in Southern California, Erica Alfaro is a true testament to living the American Dream. From not speaking a word of English as her family migrated to the United States at the age of 13, becoming pregnant just a couple of years later, to being the first member of her family to pursue a college degree and later earning her master’s degree, Erica Alfaro is nothing less than an inspiration.

Ultimately, it is through Erica’s relentless work ethic, vision for success, and passion to help others, that has enabled her to come such a long way in such a short amount of time. Erica plans to continue her life’s work and be a voice for the voiceless. She is not only a role model for all first-generation students, Latinas, and women of all different backgrounds, but her humble heart and palpable words truly resonate with everyone.
