Erin began the longest relationship of her life (reality television) in January 2002 with The Real World: Chicago. What else is a 5th grader in Hartland, WI to do? Also, where were her parents? The relationship is stronger than ever even after life has taken her to Seattle, WA. When she’s not grinding it out working in HR at a tech company, you can find her wallowing in nostalgia.

Favorite Bravo Quote: “The only thing that I have holding me back right now is that I have self-respect and dignity. Thank god for Kristen, who is unburdened by those anchors.” OR “Bling, bling, bling! Bitches is mad!”

In Snoqualmie, WA, Erin’s reality television journey started in the 4th grade with MTV’s iconic duo Real World & Road Rules. In a former, not so distant, life she was a Seattle salon owner (Chateau Salon in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey could never). Now, Erin fills most of her time with motherhood & being a student. Although, she would describe herself as… jobless.

Favorite Brave quote: “I was shocked, honey. I was in tears, almost. And they have a white refrigerator. I was like uh-huh, ooh, not a white refrigerator! Girl, put your shoes on, let’s go find you a home!”
