Erin first came to Kenya in 2002 with Peace Corps as a technical/ computer volunteer in Naivasha. She set up a film editing studio and worked in close conjunction with the Lake Naivasha Riparian Association (LNRA), the management body in charge of running Lake Naivasha. Upon completion of her work with Peace Corps Erin began working with the Brock Initiative and still in close relation to the LNRA.


Erin is currently working on a series of environmental films in association with Earthwatch (Europe), and has returned to the USA where she is editing these. She hopes to return to Kenya later in 2005 subject to getting funding to continue her work.
