Her faith is her foundation and her motto in life is "Love God. Love People. Choose Joy." The moment you meet Erin you see the joy overflowing and feel her genuine love for others. She has a way of reaching people through her kindness and conviction. Her message is one that moves hearts instantly. Her tender heart is evident and a breath of fresh air. Erin shares openly about the ups and downs and tests she has encountered and how she found the strength to fight through them. She knows that through her own trials, true worth comes from within.

Her mission is to allow her tests to be a testimony and to allow her mess to be her message, to encourage others that they are not alone.

Children are Erin's greatest passion and seeing them taken care of has been her life goal. Raised in the Church, her Dad, who is still a pastor, taught their family to server others.
