A Charleston, South Carolina native, Erin relocated to Colorado Springs in June of 2011 to continue her career with views of the Rocky Mountains. Prior to this relocation, her journey included everything from teaching at both independent and public schools in South Carolina to leading educational, missionary relief efforts in Chambrun, Haiti and inner-city New York. For the past decade, her heart has been connected to the southeast side of Colorado Springs, where she serve as an educational leader in Harrison School District 2.
