Erin is back home in the Twin Cities after stops in South Korea and Omaha. The Jefferson High School grad (Go Jags!) is excited to get back to storytelling in the community that raised her.
Erin spent two years in Seoul, South Korea on a Fulbright grant. During her time there, she lived with a host family for a year, worked with North Korean defectors, fell in love with kimchi and traveled extensively throughout Asia. Some of her stops included Japan, Cambodia, Thailand and New Zealand. Korean food is still one of Erin’s passions. The spicier, the better.
Erin attended Drake University in Des Moines receiving dual degrees in sociology and broadcast news with high honors. She has worked for KCCI in Des Moines and KETV in Omaha.
Exploring is another one of Erin’s true passions. It could be a new country or a new restaurant down the street. She loves it all! Erin loves keeping up with international headlines but she’s just as passionate about covering local stories that are happening down the street. If you have an idea, email her! Be sure to connect with her on social media as well.
