She works as a graphic designer for her husband’s business, Xtreme Graphics. She is also a baker, owning a small business called PopHaven which produces custom cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, and other confectionary treats! She could not have made it this far without extending a special thank you to her family, who are her biggest supporters - Dustin, Mommy, and her two sons!
Erin is grateful for every opportunity she has to share her craft, especially for an amazing cause such as The Baddour Center.
