Erin is a PhD candidate in the Department of Psychology in the Cognitive and Brain Sciences area. She received a BA in Mathematics and Spanish at St. Olaf College in 2011. Erin joined the Auditory Perception and Cognition Lab in 2015 as a Junior Scientist before starting graduate school at the University of Minnesota in 2016. Her current research focuses on cognitive factors contributing to variability in hearing outcomes of adults with cochlear implants. As a bilateral cochlear-implant user herself, many of her research ideas come from personal experiences with hearing loss and navigating daily life with auditory prostheses.
