Your Captioning Agent Dresses Up Like a Hero, but Her Dog is the Real Deal

Our featured captioning agent this quarter, Ericka Elton, grew up in a military family, which brought her everywhere from Germany to Alaska. Recently, Ericka has settled down in the small town of Lusk, Wyoming, where she captions phone calls remotely.   Having joined the CaptionCall team nearly 4 years ago, Ericka has come to appreciate the steady routine of captioning, signing on for work and knowing exactly what she’ll be doing any given day. Ericka says that it’s a good fit, as she enjoys doing work that directly helps people, plus being able to work from home allows her to control her environment to tend to her health.   Still, captioning isn’t without unique challenges. 
“Sometimes it can be hard to hold back laughing at the jokes people tell each other. Every now and then someone says something, and it takes everything in me not to laugh along with them.” 
When she’s not captioning, Ericka enjoys spending time with her dog, Axelotl. Not only does a happy dog instantly brighten Ericka’s day, but Axelotl actually saved her from a potentially serious health event. 
“One night, I was struggling with some pretty intense pain. I had wanted to get up and go upstairs to the couch, but he pushed me back down and would not let me leave my bed. It’s a good thing he did, because I was so dizzy and disoriented that I could have easily fallen and hit my head, but Axel made sure I stayed put until I could move safely.”

Ericka is also an avid cosplayer. She creates unique and detailed competition costumes and is currently learning to use foam and other materials to make props that enhance the effect.  

“I love to add little details to help bring the characters to life, small things like using different textured fabrics or customizing buttons. I also enjoy making my own wigs, which while time consuming, lets me shape the hair however I want.”
