Erin received her B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University in 2007, graduating cum laude and a member of the Tau Beta Pi and Pi Tau Sigma honor societies. Before her work with the BrainGate2 research team, she was a mechanical design engineer at Raytheon, working on ground based radar systems. After two years at Raytheon, Erin went on to work as a data specialist for one year in the bone-marrow transplant department at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Erin recently finished a pre-medical post-baccalaureate program and expects to pursue her M.D. in the near future.
