A lifelong resident of Virginia, Erin moved to Southern California in 2016 following her graduation from the College of William and Mary with a BA in Religious Studies. She completed her Masters of Divinity from Claremont School of Theology in 2019, and is now using her newfound divinity to learn all of the secrets of church administration.

An import from the United Methodist tradition, Erin is currently a certified candidate for ministry in the Virginia Annual Conference. She will be beginning a 16-week unit of Clinical Pastoral Education at PIH-Health Hospital in Whittier in September, and assuming that this doesn’t radically alter her sense of call, she’ll continue working towards her goal of congregational ministry from there.

If you’d like to make her day, show her pictures of your pets and tell her what your bird call would be. She would love to hear about both.
