About Erica Schlaikjer

My name is Erica Schlaikjer, a graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in Evanston, IL, where I double-majored in journalism and international studies. I was born in Fairfax, VA, and subsequently moved around the world as the daughter of a U.S. Foreign Service officer and aboriginal Taiwanese mother. I have lived in Guangzhou, China; Taipei, Taiwan; Beijing, China; Geneva, Switzerland; Hong Kong, S.A.R. and Germantown, MD, where I attended public high school. I am currently based in Chicago.

I have held several magazine internships at local, national and international publications, including The Chicago Reporter, Crain’s Chicago Business and National Geographic.

In the fall of 2005, I withdrew from school for three months to live in Shanghai, China, where I interned at Shanghai Talk, an English-language city living magazine. I also pursued an independent research project, courtesy of the Medill-sponsored Eric Lund Global Research & Reporting Grant, focusing on China’s Internet youth culture. While working and living abroad, I traveled to Hangzhou, Suzhou, Beijing and Nanjing.

In February 2007, I was honored with a foundational scholarship from the Overseas Press Club, and I hope to pursue a career in international journalism.

Beginning in January 2008, I will be studying Mandarin at the Chinese Culture University in Taipei, Taiwan, thanks to the Taiwan Ministry of Education’s Huayu Enrichment Scholarship for Chinese language training.
