Erin grew up in a variety of Southeastern states but did not manage to pick up a Southern drawl. After graduating from college, she headed west towards large snowy mountains to pursue a career in outdoor education. Along the way, she acquired her WEMT certification, started working as a NOLS expedition instructor, and most recently began taking classes to become a registered nurse. Erin loves climbing, backpacking, running, and of course, drinking copious amounts of tea while snuggling with a good book.
