How Erin Helps Clients

Erin has spent her entire career in the public and nonprofit sectors, honing her skills related to healthcare public policy and civic leadership.

From 2013-2014, Erin was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, during which time she served on the following committees: Education, Consumer Affairs and Human Services. She also served on the PA House’s bipartisan and bicameral Equality Caucus, the Women’s Health Caucus and co-chaired the Life Sciences Caucus. During her tenure, she introduced several pieces of legislation, including a patient’s rights bill, known as the Physician Disclosure Act, and a House Resolution, urging a public hearing of the Public Utility Commission (PUC) to better understand transportation needs and calling for the issuance of Experimental Licenses for ride-share companies. She was an outspoken advocate for Act 89, Pennsylvania’s Transportation Infrastructure bill, which passed in 2014, and she is most proud of introducing the Pay Equity Act (HB 1890), which called for equal pay for equal work.

Most recently, Erin served as Legislative Director at the Pennsylvania Department of Health and was previously appointed by Governor Wolf to serve as the director of the Southwest Regional Office representing 16 counties. She also served in leadership roles in the One Young World Pittsburgh Partnership, Pittsburgh Urban Magnet Project, Coro Center for Civic Leadership and Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania.

Erin’s vast experience in public services enables her to build coalitions and connect disparate entities to come together toward a common goal. She works with stakeholders in the infrastructure and transportation industries, the nonprofit sector, workforce development entities and with those in the healthcare industry – specifically focused on prescription drugs and the opioid epidemic, telehealth, redesign of rural healthcare, women’s healthcare and medical marijuana. 

In 2021, Erin graduated as part of the Leadership Pittsburgh XXXVII Class. This is an exclusive leadership program for senior-level leaders with the mission of educating and engaging individuals in the Pittsburgh region.
