Erin is passionate about being a role model, mentor, and leader in the effort to get more women into motorsports careers - but also to get them taking chances and populating spaces that they wouldn’t otherwise see themselves entering. She, like many others, believes that visibility is the first step towards that goal. Closely related to visibility is the need for education - particularly in spreading the knowledge that unconventional career paths exist, that they are open to women, as well as teaching young girls both the intellectual, professional, and hands-on the skills that will help them succeed in the fields of science, engineering, technology, and math.
