Meet The Team

Erica Barry

WRITER / PRODUCER

Erica Barry worked as a performer at Disneyland before stumbling down the rabbit hole and landing a job at a Big 4 consulting firm. Her improv skills and nerves of steel served her well during interviews. She is now an ex-consultant working in media.

Her longtime love for Seinfeld, 30 Rock, and television, in general, occupied a prominent place in her extracurricular pastimes, but it wasn’t until she interned in management consulting during the summer of 2019 that she seriously considered a career in media.
