Her career began with Texas Beef Council (TBC) working in the areas of communication, education, nutrition, issues management and export market development while also serving as liaison to various beef producer and industry groups. Throughout her time at TBC she was involved in the strategic direction and day-to-day implementation of projects ranging from youth education to on-site events. She also has a strong background in writing and content organization.

Her involvement with issues management at TBC included working with Texas industry organizations, state agencies, cattlemen and media to coordinate the Texas beef industry response to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in December 2003. Erin’s work in export market development included hosting foreign delegates and training Texas beef companies.

Erin’s childhood days were spent on the many farms in rural southwest Louisiana visited by her father, a county agriculture extension agent. Her family had a small livestock operation which allowed her to compete at every cattle, sheep and hog show she could convince her family to attend. She received her bachelor’s degree in animal science with an emphasis in production and communication from Texas A&M University and currently resides with her family in the Texas Hill Country community of Harper.
