Meet Edricia
I’m Edricia, Manchester Law Society’s newest recruit
It’s a full circle moment to end up in a nonprofit space with initiatives so dear to my heart. From childhood aspirations to help those less fortunate, to countless retail hours, to insurance and teaching abroad, and even the corporate 9-5. One thing that stayed consistent was my love of people , seeking and thriving through life’s challenges, and my desire to help; all of which I feel will be handy building blocks as our new Operations Manager at MLS.
I’m looking forward to connecting with the plethora of individuals who each make MLS special as well as finding my work-life rhythm after having a baby in 2025.
Hobbies: Anything active, reading (33 books down in 2026 alone!), family time, and figuring out where and when to travel next.
Book on repeat: Tschik by Wolfgang Herrndorf, I’m a sucker for a coming-of-age story (bonus points as it also helps me keep my German language skills alive)
Fun Fact: My family and I moved to the UK in ‘97 following volcanic eruptions on our tiny but beautiful island, Montserrat.
