How I Help . . .

After losing my father unexpectedly in 2022, I felt completely overwhelmed. My mother had passed away eight years earlier, and because my father had not completed any estate planning, I had no idea where to begin. Two people, who neither knew me nor my dad, took the time to guide me through the process. Their willingness to help a stranger during such a difficult period was an incredible act of kindness that I will never forget.

That experience changed me. It showed me the profound impact that knowledgeable, compassionate guidance can have on someone during one of the most difficult times in their life. It is a big part of why I do the work I do today. If I can help even one person navigate a challenging situation the way those individuals helped me, I feel that I am honoring and paying forward the kindness they extended to me when I needed it most.

"Outside of work, my world revolves around my wonderful family as a dedicated wife and proud mom. When I'm not balancing family life, I love bringing that same warmth, energy, and dedication to our team every day."

Q&A with Erin

What does above+beyond mean to you?
To me, going above and beyond means bringing passion, initiative, and proactive energy to every task, ensuring my work consistently exceeds expectations.
What is your favorite restaurant and why?
About 20 minutes from where I live is a charming farm-to-table restaurant called The Burning Barrel. They host just 20 guests each night at a single communal table, and the menu remains a surprise until a few days before your reservation. It encourages me to step outside my comfort zone and try dishes I might not order otherwise. Every visit has been a memorable dining experience with incredible food and outstanding hospitality.
What is your favorite music?
I don't have a favorite genre because I believe great music transcends labels. I love music that evokes emotion, tells a story, and creates a meaningful connection. If it speaks to my soul, it's the kind of music I enjoy.
What are you most proud of and why?
My greatest source of pride is my husband and our two sons. My husband is a devoted partner and father who leads our family with love and dedication. Watching our sons grow into remarkable young men with strong character and values is something I'm incredibly grateful for.
What is your passion outside of work?
Live music is one of my greatest passions. My family and I love attending concerts together, whether it's a local show or an event that takes us out of state. Sharing those experiences and making memories together is something we truly enjoy.
