About

Erin is a climate reporter for The Boston Globe. She is a proud (and new) resident of Dorchester, but travels frequently to report from all corners of New England.

Prior to working the Globe, Erin was a climate reporter for The Texas Tribune from 2020 to 2023, where she reported on the impacts of climate change on Texans, investigated a chemical fire at an industrial facility, and covered the collapse of Texas’ power grid that led to widespread blackouts across the state. Her coverage of the Texas blackouts in 2021 was recognized by both the Investigative Reporters & Editors (IRE) and the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW). Erin’s work exploring the mental health impact of climate disasters was recognized as part of the Tribune’s 2022 Edward R. Murrow award for overall excellence.

From 2018 to 2020, Erin was a business reporter for the Houston Chronicle, where she covered the local economy, labor, energy and environmental issues.

Erin graduated from Colorado State University in Fort Collins with degrees in economics and journalism. She started her career in as a business news intern for The Denver Post, her hometown newspaper.

Born in East Tennessee and raised in Colorado, Erin feels most at home in either the Smokies or the Rockies. She enjoys hikes without an obvious destination, ice skating, and taking the train. She is not afraid of heights.
