Erin graduated in the top ten percent of her class at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, in 2006, where she honed her trial skills as a member of the nationally recognized Byrne Trial Advocacy Team. During law school, she clerked for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office as a certified law clerk, handling more than 30 juvenile and adult adjudications and earning recognition for her courtroom advocacy.
