“I absolutely love my team and our partners. Working at the intersection of technology and policy, I am always learning from international counterparts, lab experts, and our team. And DC is a great place to work because there is a strong nuclear community that promotes engagement across academia, government, and NGOs. It’s also close to the mountains, which is key for me,” shared Erin.
“Erin is such an important part of our team. She is not only great at what she does, but she also goes beyond what is in her job description. Her leadership of the Next Generation Arms Control Experts Program is impressive and important,” shared MELE VP Carrie Phelps.
