Erin studied Psychology and Entrepreneurship at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. During her undergraduate years, she became heavily involved with eating disorder outreach and found a passion for connecting people to resources and one another. Putting her entrepreneurship studies to work, she helped build a company called The Recovery Box. Founded in 2017, The Recovery Box bridges a gap in the mental health field by designing innovative tools that support recovery by adding tangibility to abstract clinical ideas. Erin holds the role of Chief Architecture and Design Officer, where she is able to leverage her creative eye to support product design by bringing ideas into the physical space, as well as supporting The Recovery Box from a business lens by ensuring the start-up has a strong foundation from which to grow.
Outside of The Recovery Box, Erin’s professional experience began in Denver, Colorado where she worked as a Regional Outreach Representative for a Partial Hospitalization Program that specialized in the treatment of eating disorders. Through this role, Erin developed core beliefs that meaningful outreach is built on trust, curiosity, and genuine connection. She brings this ethos to her work in Los Angeles where she now works as the Referral Relations Manager for Ellenhorn, the nation’s largest Community Integration Program. Erin looks forward to continued work with Ellenhorn and The Recovery Box because these unique avenues of care showcase the importance that integrating mental health support into day-to-day life can have on recovery. |
