Fun facts about me:

When she’s not editing, Erinn can be found:

  • Taking her poodle mix, Obi, to the West Hollywood dog park 
  • Fiercely defending the Star Wars prequels
  • “Vegan”-izing family Colombian and Ashkenazi Jewish recipes
  • Collecting Pokémon cards (she refuses to call them “vintage”)
  • Doing Pilates (badly)
  • Getting lost (and spending way too much money) at comic con artist alleys
  • Browsing the local farmer’s market for fresh veggies (baby cauliflower is her favorite)
