Erin is from the Western New York area and has worked in the field of Blind & Visually Impaired for more than 25 years as a Teacher of students with Visual Impairments and the Statewide Coordinator of Education for the Blind and Visually Impaired for the Delaware Division for the Visually Impaired.
She earned her A.A.S. in Early Childhood Education at Villa Maria College of Buffalo, B.S. at Michigan State University in the areas of Elementary Education, Special Education, and Teacher of students with Visual Impairments, and an M.S.E.D. at St. Bonaventure University in Childhood Literacy.

Spending time with her family on the waterfront is Erin’s most cherished pastime.
