ERIN ~ Born in Victoria, BC, Erin grew up running backyard trails and since then has never found the sense to stop. Her childhood fascination with cross-country running led her to recreationally compete in various half marathons and marathons across Canada, and has fostered an unusual appreciation for long distances. In 2005, Erin initiated a project in rural Kenya in which she worked and learned from abandoned, disabled children. The experience ignited her growing passion for the African people. Erin is highly committed to ideas of global and social responsibility and she exemplifies a lifestyle of ethical intention. She shares her experiences with students across the province, and through public speaking opportunities challenges others to do the same. Erin is currently studying at the University of Victoria and is pursuing a career in International Development. After completing her education, Erin intends to work and live in Africa permanently.
