Erin was born and raised in Orange, California but always knew she was meant to end up in the South. After high school, Erin went to college at the University of South Carolina where she studied to become an Athletic Trainer. Erin was then offered a graduate assistant position as an athletic trainer at Boston University where she got her masters in health education. As an athletic trainer, Erin spent most of her career in collegiate athletics at Stanford University and the University of Texas in Austin. After more than 10 years as an Athletic Trainer and working closely with many Orthopedic Surgeons, she decided to expand her education by becoming a Physician Assistant. Erin completed her Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies at North Central College in Naperville, IL before returning to what she calls home, Austin. In her free time, she likes to stay active by getting out on the lake or trails with her dog, playing rec sports, listening to live music, going to sporting events, and exploring the hill country. She also volunteers her time with various animal rescue organizations around Central Texas.
