Background
Before joining NMML in 2006, Erin was the Hawaiian Islands Monk Seal Sightings Coordinator for the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. She received a B.S. in zoology from Humboldt State University where she studied California seal lion habitat use and foraging behavior. Erin worked with Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles for Padre Island National Seashore and was a field camp leader for Hawaiian monk seal research on the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands before earning her M.S. in environmental science from Western Washington University. Her graduate work investigated sublethal effects of an unregulated contaminant found in rivers throughout the United States.
