Biography
She graduated with a degree in Geography and History from the University of Barcelona and a diploma in Teaching from the University of Vic. For more than twenty years she worked as a teacher at the Sant Miquel dels Sants college in Vic.

Between 2007 and 2015, Erra was a local councilor in Vic. In the 2015 local elections, she was elected mayor of Vic thanks to a government pact with the PSC. On June 19, 2018, Erra took office as deputy in the Parliament of Catalonia, after Isabel Ferrer resigned her seat. In the 2019 local elections she got an absolute majority, 11 seats out of 21 possible.

In February 2020 she apologised for comments she made which she thought may have been misunderstood. She was trying to address the issue that some Catalans switch to Spanish when they meet strangers on the assumption that they won't understand Catalan. She was trying to encourage Catalans to not make that assumption.

On August 9, 2020, she was elected vice-president and head of institutional relations of her political party, Junts per Catalunya. In June 2022 she announced that she would not run for mayor in the municipal elections of 2023.

After the disqualification of Laura Borràs, on 9 June 2023, she was sworn in as President of the Parliament of Catalonia.
