Erica Yuen graduated from Saint Stephen"s College, Hong Kong in 1997, and she continued her education at Tufts University in Massachusetts, and graduated summa cum laude.
In 2012, Yuen announced that she would enter the Hong Kong Legislative Council election in September that year as a People Power candidate for New Territories East constituency with Raymond Chan Chi-chuen. In preparation for this, she renounced her United States citizenship as required by Hong Kong election law. In March 2014, Yuen stood in a by-election for the South Horizons West seat on the Southern District Council, following the resignation of Fung Wai-kwong.
She secured second place with 1,083 votes, behind Judy Chan Ka-pui of the New People"s Party (2,023 votes) and ahead of Sin Chung-kai of the Democratic Party (920 votes).
In December 2014, Yuen is due to marry political fellow-traveller and Power Voters chairman Anthony Lam Yue-yeung. Lam runs the media platform memehk.com, and – like Yuen – has stood unsuccessfully for Southern District Council.
A former Mission Hong Kong pageant participant, she has been the chairperson of the People Power political party since 2013. She was placed second in her party list under the Party-list proportional representation. Ray Chan, who was first on that list, was elected, but Yuen herself, like all other candidates ranked second or below in their party lists, was not.
