Erin is a passionate outdoor educator and licensed paramedic currently based in the Lower Mainland, having spent several years living in the West Kootenays. She’s been hiking and backpacking since age 11. Her love for wild places has taken her to over 40 countries and led her to work as an expedition instructor for youth with backpacking trips up to 21 days in length. She has also guided in helicopter-access lodges with a range of age groups and ability levels. Erin is deeply committed to mentorship through her involvement with Kootenay Wild Mentors and finds inspiration in storytelling, wildflowers, trees, and wildlife. In her spare time, she enjoys rock climbing and trail running with her dog in BC’s backcountry.
