Educational Experiences

She has taken several entrepreneurship courses at Brown as well and approaches solutions to the inequalities she learns about in class through an entrepreneurial lense.

Career Goals

As a Division I athlete, Erin aspires to pursue a career that will allow her to channel her competitive nature into implementing solutions that will solve the seemingly impossible task of creating world peace. She asks, “How do we solve the injustices of the world?” Effective policies, strong leadership to establish collective action and dependable financial resources can catapult the change needed to foster an appreciation for one another’s differences. Earning a master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Georgia (UGA) she says will provide her with the skills she will need to organize movements, unite citizens, and raise the necessary funds needed to change unjust policies that favor privileged groups. Erin aspires to rebuild fractured, unbalanced structures. She knows change does not happen overnight, and change certainly does not happen in isolation. With a concentration in political science from Brown University and a master’s degree in Public Administration from UGA, Erin plans to blend her administrative and political skills with her passion for sports to influence policies and become a community and player relations manager with professional sports teams. It is Erin’s hope to utilize platforms of multiple professional athletes and teams as a vessel that will cultivate a common ground where individuals of opposing viewpoints can unite on issues larger than themselves. Leveraging her passion for sports and helping others, she looks forward to breaking boundaries with teams and communities striving towards equality and social justice.
