Erika Lasrado

Erika Lasrado brings a distinctive combination of clinical training and academic expertise to her work in higher education research. Holding a Master’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Educational Psychology, she has built her career at the intersection of mental health practice, education strategy, and evidence-based writing — giving her a rigorous foundation for evaluating the programs she covers.

Her clinical background centers on counseling and strategy development for young adults, an area where she applies both psychological theory and practical intervention frameworks. That hands-on experience informs the way she evaluates graduate programs — not just for academic rigor, but for how well they prepare students for the realities of practice-based careers.
