In her 15 years of nonprofit and consulting experience, one of Erin’s favorite jobs has been supporting communities and stakeholders to create and execute plans to bring them closer to their community goals.

She finalized and gained widespread support for Ohio University’s first-ever Sustainability Plan, guided over 200 stakeholders in the creation and execution of the Athens Hocking Zero Waste Action Plan, and led the development of Ohio Health O’Bleness Hospital’s Sustainability plan, which is now a model that the Ohio Health system is adopting. She has led numerous strategic planning engagements with Mission Met.

Erin’s non-profit experience includes two years with City Year’s Young Heroes Program, four years with Ohio University’s Office of Sustainability, and eight years with Rural Action’s Zero Waste Program. She is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University and Ohio University with a BA in nonfiction writing, creative writing, German and women studies, and a MA in cultural studies in education with a sustainability certificate.

Erin lives in Athens, Ohio, with her husband, two kids, and a dog. She loves to run, hike, read, write letters, do crafts and experiments with her kids, and cook.
