"Curious naturalist" is a suitable description of Erin, although she would also add analytical and passionate as descriptors. Erin's passion for everything natural exudes from her core. She has focused on environmental conservation and education through jobs in the private, public and non-profit sector throughout North America and the Caribbean. Erin grew up in Chester County, Pennsylvania, but has been calling New England her home ever since attending Franklin Pierce Collge in New Hampshire. Erin has worked as the UVM Watershed Alliance Outreach & Education Coordinator, a position with Lake Champlain Sea Grant since July 2010. She enjoys teaching and learning from a variety of people. Her goal is to work with the Lake Champlain Basin community to raise awareness of their natural resources and responsibilities on a daily basis.
