Erin was born and raised in the rural area of Kalapana on the Big Island. Being dialed into the land and sea has been integral to her upbringing. From surfing daily to attending a Hawaiian school on the ocean coastline, most of her life has been spent outdoors in nature.
She has always been passionate about sustainability and peacefully coexisting with our beautiful islands’ creatures, plants, and ecosystems. Facilitating education and encounters with some of the ocean’s most endearing big fish, the mantas truly bring her immense joy.
