Erin stresses the importance of giving back to the community she lives in and the community she comes from. 

Erin grew up between Northern California and Western Washington. She spent her school years in CA and my summers in WA. Upon graduating high school she moved to Honolulu to attend the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Erin majored in Natural Resources and Environmental Management with a Minor in Economics. After graduating from UH Manoa she headed briefly to Kalispell, MT to work with the USDA then headed to WA to work with an AmeriCorps program through Washington Conservation Corp (WCC) run by the Washington State Department of Ecology. After completing WCC Erin moved to Japan and was stationed overseas with her spouse from 2018-2021 who was in the US Navy. Then they were stationed in WA and stayed for about two years until moving to Rhode Island where she attends law school.
