She was part of a morning show that received an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters.
In Austin, Erin worked as an evening reporter for KVUE and covered the deadliest hot air balloon crash in America's history, bombings that terrorized the city for weeks and the impact of Hurricane Harvey.
