Hi, I'm Erin

I'm a CHES®-certified public health practitioner and Community Health Worker with a deep commitment to health equity and community-driven change. I’m currently pursuing my Master of Public Health at UMass Amherst, where my work centers on expanding access to culturally responsive, affirming care for transgender people of color. My background includes health education and program evaluation—always grounded in trauma-informed, intersectional approaches that reflect the real-world complexities communities face. I believe public health should listen first, act collaboratively, and leave no one behind.
