About Erin
Erin is a maker, engineer, writer, entrepreneur, designer, and science communicator. She graduated from the University of Florida with her degree in mechanical engineering December 2016 and has a passion for showing the art and creativity in science and engineering.
Erin is currently working as a science communicator for the International Space Station, communicating the science performed aboard the orbiting laboratory. She assigns, writes, and edits stories for publication on NASA.gov covering station science. She also handles the social media and distribution strategy for station science content, running the @ISS_Research Twitter account, and composing science content for other NASA accounts. Erin also supports space station astronauts with science communication materials.
She previously worked as the space reporter for the MIT Technology Review, and also served as the publication's associate editor of the future of work. She wrote for print and online on topics ranging from 3-D printing to diversity in tech. Erin also developed and writes The Airlock, a weekly email on emerging space technologies for MIT Technology Review. Erin has also helmed the publication's daily tech newsletter, The Download, which reached about 100,000 subscribers, grew Tech Review's Instagram following from 150K to over 400K followers in 6 months, and launched Clocking In, the publication's future work newsletter. She previously interned as the Richard Casement Intern for The Economist, writing weekly articles on science and technology and appearing on the weekly Economist science podcast, Babbage, to discuss new innovations in the scientific fields.
Erin is also the CEO of Sci Chic, a company she founded in October 2015 which creates 3D printed jewelry that is inspired by science and engineering concepts. She is the winner of the 2016 national #CampusPitch Competition for her work with Sci Chic. She uses this as a tool to teach about science and technology and spark conversations about science.
As a maker, Erin has created everything from 3D printed jewelry to Ms. Frizzle costumes. Her work has been featured everywhere from CNN Money to The Daily Dot.
As an engineering student, Erin has interned at John Deere, Solar Turbines, Keysight Technologies, and Bracken Engineering. She loves being a hands-on engineer and creating new technologies. She has performed and published research on 3D Printing Outreach in partnership with the Martson Library.
Erin has continually served as an advocate for women in STEM. She served as the president of UF's Society of Women Engineers from 2014-2015 and the SWE Region D Collegiate Representative from 2015-2016. She has volunteered at local elementary schools, museums and maker events, bringing accessible science to the next generation.
Erin spends her weekends hiking, writing, and attending events to spread science literacy and the art in science. Her goal is to use these tools to increase public awareness and appreciation for science and engineering.
