Erin has always lived in the Twin Cities and currently resides in North Minneapolis with her husband and a pair of feisty cats, Simon and Phoebe. She is a lifelong vegetarian and transitioned to veganism about five years ago. Along with being a board member for ARC she also volunteers for the Bitty Kitty Brigade, a neonatal kitten rescue. Erin is the granddaughter of ARC founder, Vonnie Thomasberg and spent time protesting with Vonnie in her youth. Her grandmother continues to be a daily inspiration. Currently Erin is spending her free time “Marie Kondo-ing” her home and passing things on to neighbors, friends, and thrift stores in an effort to live a lighter and brighter life.
