Erica
Name: Erica Lynn Lopata (Nicknames? None currently, we’ll have to work on that!)
Year/Major: Freshman, VERY undecided (but possibly pre-med)
Hometown: Deerfield, IL.
Part: Soprano II
About Me: I’ll start by saying that if you know me, you know I pride myself on being the oldest of four girls (a “second mommy”)! I love my younger sisters and miss them so much, but I know they’ll visit to see our group sing! ;-) Also, I’m a huge fan of family in general. I have two amazing parents and four unbelievably supportive grandparents. Without them, I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today. I love you all!!
Spare time activities/interests: What spare time?!? That’s a rare commodity. But when I’m not singing with this amazing group or working on school stuff, I love hanging out with friends, eating (I LOVE food!), watching funny movies (Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell are favs), dancing, traveling, and spending time with my family at home or in Wisconsin. I also just joined the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority with two other Rippies! Woohoo! I’m just a little obsessed with American Idol and the Food Network, and I love Beyonce and Christina Aguilera. Basically, if it is music, dancing, peanut butter, or chocolate-related, I love it!
Any last words?: I’m suuuper excited to be in this group!! You girls are all amazingly talented, sweet, and HiLaRiOuS, and I’m looking forward to an awesome year with you!
