Erika Hughston

Erika Hughston is a Rio Grande Valley local. With her degrees in Marine Science and Public Affairs, performing arts allowed her an opportunity to subject herself to a creative outlet within a world of statistical analysis and regulatory jargon. Miss Hughston has performed on stage since her first musical debut in 2003. Twenty years later, she has a passion for musical theatre, choir, dance, comedy,  producing, and an ever-expanding list of acquired hobbies. Her beneficial roles in the El Paseo Arts Foundation include grant management; she looks forward to serving her Rio Grande Valley home. 

“For we love our Valley home

Way down upon the Rio Grande 

Land of yours and land of mine

Land of the palm trees and the bright sunshine

There we live in paradise 

Where roses bloom on every hand 

For we love our Valley home 

Way down upon the Rio Grande.”
