A born and bred Winnipegger, Erin left her hometown to pursue her journalistic studies at New York University in New York City, where she completed her Master of Arts in magazine journalism.
While in New York, she had the opportunity to work with some of the best long-form journalists and editors in North America.
Erin was offered a job at the Free Press in December of 2013 as a web and copy editor. From there, she shifted into the arts and life department as a multimedia producer, spending the majority of her time writing about the local music scene and earning a National Newspaper Award nomination for arts reporting.
Erin moved into her role of audience engagement manager at the Free Press in March 2020, and spends her time thinking of, and implementing, ways to improve and deepen the relationship between the paper and its readers.
