Erin studied abroad twice: at Trinity College Dublin and at the University of Ghana-Legon. Additionally, she participated in various service projects working with vulnerable populations in Ghana, New Orleans, Rwanda and Nicaragua. At UW, Erin served as a Director and Executive Board Member for an organization dedicated to supporting children and families affected by HIV/AIDS. After graduation, Erin spent two years working in the Development Department of Invisible Children, an organization dedicated to dismantling the Lord’s Resistance Army in Central Africa. At Invisible Children, Erin was involved in everything from corporate partnerships to fundraising to stewardship, and also assisted with donor relations during the Kony 2012 campaign. Prior to her fellowship, Erin served as a Global Health Corps fellow at Kyetume Community Based Health Care Programme in Mukono, Uganda as the Fundraising and Development/ Human Resources Officer. While in Tanzania, Erin is excited to add Swahili to her African language repertoire and put her motorcycle skills to use in Dar es Salaam traffic.
