She began her professional career as a freelance writer for the Marquette Monthly in January 2001. In June of that year, she became a regular staffer and served as the calendar editor for the next four years, eventually adding the duties of a regular writer and the primary copy editor. It was during that time that she also met a fabulous gal named Kristy Basolo and the two became fast friends in addition to being a dynamite professional duo.

Currently, Erin is the community news editor at the American Jewish World in Minneapolis, a weekly newspaper sent by subscription to the Jewish communities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs.

In her spare time, Erin enjoys reading, watching good TV and engaging in witty cell phone conversations with Kristy. |
