By helping a Saint John family relocate to Chile in 2007, she had her first positive experience with friendly people of Saint John. Two years later that same family helped Erin and her husband relocate to Saint John, and she already considers the Port City home. Originally from the United States, Erin has lived in Singapore and Chile and has visited many countries in South America, Southeast Asia and Europe. Her life experiences have prepared her to be a great youth program officer, as she understands how to communicate with people from different cultures, and has a passion for seeing young people grow and succeed. In addition to her multicultural background, Erin brings valuable skills to the MNRC including a bachelor’s degree in social work from James Madison University in Virginia and several years teaching English as a second language and running her own business in Chile. Based on her personal experience adjusting to Chilean and Singaporean life, Erin works to help newcomer youth adjust to their new Canadian home.
