Biography

Erin ’s favorite part about working in the AFS community: I love the way that the community grows as a collective — how teachers, staff, administration, and students continually push each other to learn, grow, and evolve together. We are truly a community of continuing revelation.”

What Erin finds most meaningful in her profession: It is truly special to work with students as they move through the critical stages of identity development in the teenage years. To be in close relationships with young people while I help them discover the beautiful revelations of mathematics — that is a truly special profession.”

Fun fact about Erin: I have visited all 50 states in the USA.”

Erin’s favorite spot on campus: The whole campus is amazing, but I especially love the creek, the food gardens, the playgrounds, and the math office.”
