Erin has been in the medical field for 32 years. In 2019 the American Association of Nurse Practitioners elected her Washington State Advocate of the Year for the
work she has done towards improving provider and patient safety in prescribing
opioids. Her career has spanned across neurosurgery, interventional pain
management, medication pain management and more recently medication assisted
treatment for substance use disorder. Erin represented the Nursing Commission
as a member of the Opioid Taskforce, writing the boilerplate rules for
prescribing opioids in Washington State (ESHB 1427). Erin truly has a
compassion for helping others.

Erin enjoys her horse,
riding her motorcycle and camping. She loves spending time with her family
hiking the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Erin is a country girl raised and still
