Ericka Peters Quesada Vice President of US Board

Ericka, a Jesus and coffee lover, is also a Florida native. She hails from northern Florida and her soft southern drawl gives her away. Ericka served in orphanages in both Haiti and Nicaragua as the director, before coming to Residence of Life in January of 2015. There, she met her husband, our psychologist Victor who, during the early years, had helped Cherie do much of the groundbreaking work for Residencia de Vida. The pair married in January of 2017. Throughout her years at Residencia de Vida, Ericka has served as house mom, director and has held several positions on both the Costa Rican and US boards. Just recently, Victor also joined our board in Costa Rica and we’re blessed by their wisdom and experience. They both teach English, enjoy cooking and caring for their little boy, Benjamin.
