Hi, I’m Erin.

I love the music business, entrepreneurship, Nashville, teaching, mentoring, public speaking, coffee, and dogs (in no order). I have an undying entrepreneurial spirit, so at any given moment I am actively working on two new businesses and ideating 10 more in my dreams at night. See the links in the upper right for what I am working on right now.
