Erin was born and raised in a generic middle-class family that hails from the mean streets of the Canadian suburbs. Disenchanted with the values of suburban living, she turned to film as an escape from a rather young age. When it came time to pursue post-secondary education, Erin had dreams of being a Broadway star. She was going to spend three years in Brockville focusing on a Musical Theatre diploma, but considering one requires at least a degree to get even the lowest paying job in today’s job market, she decided to pursue film instead. She only regrets it half the time.
