Hi, I’m Erin.

As a writer, consultant, speaker and interviewer, I’m passionate about exploring and implementing new ways of doing things that are better for people and our planet. I empower businesses, organizations and individuals to improve their connection, belonging, happiness and positive social impact. My conversational approach makes collaborations relatable and achievable, with clients and collaborators complimenting the positive attitude I bring to creating change.

Empathy, curiousity, equity, inclusion, humour, social impact and creating joy are core to my values. Whether I was producing TV documentaries, hosting an award show, creating a podcast or building an award-winning mental health startup, I love bringing people together to do good and have fun doing it.

I’d love to discuss your challenges, projects, ideas and more as you cultivate solutions for positive change.

  • "Through her insights, passion and energy, Erin has approached a sensitive topic like DEI and helped us develop meaningful actions we could take as a company. We could not think of a better partner to start our DEI journey with."

  • "Erin's collaborative style puts every subject at ease — whether it is a person she’s interviewing on-camera, or me, trying to articulate what I want our next article to be about. She makes others around her shine with her big-hearted kindness and hilarious wit. And somehow, she does it all while maintaining a no-nonsense, goal-focused air. I can’t imagine anyone else projecting our voices the way she does."

  • "Erin is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has the ability to approach DEI from a fun yet informative lens that makes you want to learn more without feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the content. Erin is very approachable and allows for a non-judgmental space to ask those tough questions and dig into the tough topics. I can absolutely recommend Erin as someone to partner with."

    Taylor Doherty, Learning & Development Manager, Accent Inns/Hotel ZED/ROAR

  • "Erin is that rare, indomitable combination of a presence that lights up the stage, a mind that is courageously irreverent to status quo stupidity, and the heart of a professional that will not let you down."
