Erin oversees strategy and operations of Beneficial State Foundation, which seeks to advance racial justice in and through the banking system. She initiated and helps lead the organization’s Underwriting for Racial Justice and Equitable Bank Standards programs, and founded and led the social and environmental impact measurement function at Beneficial State Bank for 10 years. She has a Master of City Planning from MIT, a Master of Education in Educational Media and Computing from Arizona State University, and teaches Social Impact Measurement at Mills College (now Northeastern University). She serves on the CDFI Coalition board, the CA Governor’s Economic Entrepreneurship and Mobility Task Force, and the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation board.

She gets lost in learning about human behavior, racial justice, systems change, and functional medicine, and she loves smart comedy, biking, paddling, and anything that involves playing in lakes, rivers, mountains, and beaches with her fabulous husband, Beau and her Australian Shepherd, Scout.
