me

My name is Erin. And I am a know it all. My family even calls me E-KIA sometimes (pronounced E-key-ah). But I was born into a family of KIAs and I just married another KIA, so life is good.

Everyone always told me I could be or do anything I wanted when I grew up, and I've taken it to heart.

In real life, I've lived on the East Coast, the West Coast and spent eight years in Europe.
