Erin is a native of Bloomington, Illinois who completed college in just 3 ½ years with honors. Her father is a small town police chief and she was named Miss Hooters of Illinois in 2002.
Early in
Rock of Love , Erin already came across some unfortunate circumstances, including a heated exchange of words with
Brandi C. Out of jealousy, Brandi C. instigated an argument with Erin during the second episode of the show. Erin fought back, saying that Brandi's facial scars are the result of crystal meth abuse. As it turns out, the scars are the result of a terrible car accident in which Brandi C. was previously involved, and she ended up telling
Bret Michaels about the fight. During the episode's elimination round,
Heather Chadwell told Bret that Erin was engaged, although Erin quickly clarified that the relationship is the thing of the past.
Ultimately, Erin placed eighth in Rock of Love, and was clearly upset with her elimination, bitterly saying that she has been with bigger stars than Bret.
Erin's post-Rock of Love plans include returning to school in order to earn her Masters degree. She is hoping to become a high school guidance counselor someday, but as of now, continues to work at clubs and plans to enjoy her life and “be young” while she can.
