Secretary
Board of Directors
Erin Ferris
Erin was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, the picturesque capital of America’s Dairyland. When it came time to pursue a college education, she traded Wisconsin’s cows for Iowa’s cornstalks to pursue her BA in Sociology from the University of Iowa. On their way to Texas, Erin, her husband, and their two kiddos made stops in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Ann Arbor, Michigan, but they got here as soon as they could.
After nearly 10 years of working in financial development, volunteer management, and health and safety education for the American Red Cross, in 2010 Erin shifted gears professionally to focus on her passion for writing. Thankfully, that passion became a paying gig, and she is now a part-time, freelance writer.
Erin has been involved with Ballet Brazos since 2015, when her then-tiny dancer first auditioned for The Nutcracker. She joined the leadership team as the Vice Publicity Chair in 2019, and is now in her third year as Board Secretary. Outside of Ballet Brazos, Erin serves on multiple school/district boards and committees, volunteers with her son’s soccer programs and daughter’s dance studio, and fosters kittens through Six Kittens Rescue.
