Hi! I’m Erin. I was born and raised in Forest, VA right outside Lynchburg, and attended James Madison University where I majored in Health Sciences and ran Division 1 track and cross country. After college, I spent a few extra years in Harrisonburg where I volunteered at a rescue squad as an EMT and worked as a teacher at a grant-funded after-school program to improve literacy and academically support underserved children. I then moved down to Charlottesville to attend medical school at the University of Virginia and am excited to continue living and working in the area. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing soccer with my nephews and in a local rec league, going to trivia nights with friends, and cuddling with my two cats – Amy and Smudge.
