My name is Erika Tulfo. I write and report on all things business, tech and culture.

Currently, I’m pursuing a master’s degree in journalism at Northwestern University.

I previously covered business and tech for CNN and CNBC.

Take a look at some of my works below!

A bit about me

I’m a graduate student at Northwestern University studying journalism with a concentration in politics, policy and foreign affairs.

In 2025, I graduated summa cum laude from Fordham University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and history.

Though I’m originally from the Philippines, I’ve called many places home: Manila, Nagoya, New York, and now Chicago.

When I’m not working, I enjoy visiting art museums and (re)watching old movies (“The Sound of Music holds a special place in my heart.)
