Erin’s career as a security specialist and intelligence practitioner spans several Federal Government agencies. Most recently, she spent three years at the forefront of strengthening Australia’s democratic resilience against cyber threats for the Federal Parliament, establishing a world-leading cyber capability that earned the respect and confidence of domestic and international stakeholders. After a decade in male dominated fields suffering critical skill shortages Erin realised the necessity of strong leadership when developing high-performing teams in complex industries. Motivated to inspire and empower other women in finding the confidence, capabilities and connections to progress in their careers, Erin joined FutureWomen as a Senior Specialist in August 2025.

Erin has a Bachelor in Criminology from the Australian National University and is highly sought after as a speaker and panellist on cybersecurity. Erin’s career highlights include keynote addresses for the Five Eye Parliament Cyber Conference 2024 in Washington D.C, and the Australian and New Zealand Parliamentary ICT Alliance (ANZPIT) conference.

No stranger to the Canberra equestrian community, Erin started her riding journey at Canberra Equestrian Centre at 8 years of age on a spotted appaloosa named Leopold. It was a quick progression from ‘Dad can I have riding lessons?’ to owning her first Thoroughbred at 13. Erin found her love and passion for eventing with her first horse, Jai, who was a local celebrity among the Pony Clubs. Erin went on to compete at 1* and 2* with her talented equine partners, Foxground Declan and Keliven Cappaccuino. Comfortable with a busy schedule and a touch of chaos – in her ‘spare time’ Erin manages 120 acres complete with a small herd of angus cattle and eight horses (at last count).
