The Pacific Northwest’s Portland, Oregon is the place where Erin started her life, as well as her career. In college, she got her first job in radio working at KUPL in Portland. Erin worked her way up and shortly there after moved to Eugene, OR for her first full-time on air job at KKNU. Since then, life has been a journey. Living and working in Omaha, NE; Austin, TX; St. Louis, MO; Milwaukee, WI; and FINALLY back in Texas!!! As she likes to put it: "I got back to Texas as soon as I could!"
Erin has worked in not only radio but in TV as well. In St. Louis, she hosted a Country video and line dancing show called “St. Louis Country.” Also, she was a judge on “Harrah’s Lucky Break”, a local “American Idol” type show. While in Milwaukee, Erin co-hosted “The Morning Blend,” morning TV talk show. In the afternoon she was a panelist for the 3:30 newscast “What’s Hot” segment on Today’s WTMJ Channel 4.
In her spare time, Erin likes to travel a lot, see new places and try new things. She recently took a couple of European vacations by herself (a Christmas trip to Paris and a summer trip to Rome), which she found extremely satisfying and liberating. "It was very exciting to travel to a country alone and not knowing a soul, and still manage to come back alive!"
