Igniting the Industry

ERICA VANSTONE | IGNITING THE INDUSTRY

Erica Vanstone ’19 is the face of how an entrepreneurial spirit—combined with business savvy and determination—can change how we think of sport. She’s playing a foundational role in bringing roller skating into the mainstream, building on a decade of experience forging the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). A former roller derby player herself, with a background in filmmaking, Vanstone is proof of how effectively the EMSSB degree lends itself to unconventional approaches and pathways within the sport industry.
