From 2009 to 2019, she was Chief Nurse Representative for the California Nurses Association at UCSF, representing 3,600 nurses to advocate for safe patient care and health policy improvements.
She presented on the health impacts of fracking at the 2014 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 20) and provided medical aid in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in 2017. Erin holds a BSN in Public Health and an MBA in sustainable enterprise and serves on UCSF’s Nursing DEI Council and the leadership council for California Nurses for Environmental Health & Justice.
Erin was instrumental in the design and launch of CGN's Cultural Humility Course and is a passionate advocate for health equity at UCSF, in the Bay Area community, and across the globe.
