Erin is no stranger to new people and places. She grew up in a career navy family, and
moved 16 times by the time she graduated
high school. Her early years were spent
in Japan, Guam and the Philippines, and moved to the United States for the
first time at age 14.
Erin has been a nurse for 9 years. The first 7 were spent at Providence Everett,
and the past two at Providence
Sacred Heart in Spokane.
She originally began studying to be a veterinarian, but she would have
too difficult a time with putting an animal down. Erin’s aunt is a nurse, and helped her find
her way to nursing school and a career she loves.
Always involved in volunteering, Erin has participated in 4
other medical missions in South America.
These involved hiking into remote villages to teach preventative health
care. Interacting with different
cultures comes easily to Erin, and she was excited to join this HHNW mission to
Rwanda. She has been most surprised at
the concentration of population, even in the remote areas, for such a small
African country.
Spontaneity is the word that most describes Erin. She loves to experience life with little
planning. For fun Erin has a passion for
snowboarding, golf, fishing and scuba diving, which she has done since a small
child with her Navy seal dad. Her dream
is to live in New Zealand, snowboard, and have sheep!!
