Biography
Hello! My name is Erica Beam. My pronouns are she/her/hers. Please call me Erica or Professor Beam, either are okay with me.
I am part-time faculty at Modesto Junior College in Modesto, CA where I have taught accounting courses and First Time in College (FTIC) courses. I teach full-time as faculty at Solano Community College.
I began my education at Modesto Junior College (MJC) where I earned an AS Degree in Business and an AA Degree in Accounting. I transferred to CSU Stanislaus and completed a BS Degree in Accounting. During my time at MJC I began an internship at a CPA firm. It was at that CPA firm that I became a tax accountant and found a love for accounting!
I took that love for accounting and went to work for the IRS as a Revenue Officer. It wasn’t for me, but I learned a lot! I began the MBA program at CSU Sacramento and found my love for teaching. The rest is history!
On a personal note, I have two beautiful daughters and we live in the Sacramento area. I proudly root for the San Francisco Giants and love all things Disneyland!
