Meet Erin

       My husband, Charley, and I live in South Barrington with our two kids, Chandler, 15, and Callie, 11. Chandler is a sophomore at Barrington High School, and Callie is a 6th grader Station Middle School. Both kiddos are in Barrington 220's Chinese Immersion program, and Chandler was also a part of Extended Self-Contained at Hough Elementary.

       When I'm not serving on the school board, I'm an independent journalist who reports, writes and edits news and features for a variety of newspapers, websites, magazines and nonprofits. I do tae kwon do with both our kids — we're all third-degree black belts! —and I love to run, having completed 75 marathons and 13 ultramarathons. I've run all seven of the World Marathon Majors -- Chicago, Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin and New York -- and am working my way toward running a sub-4-hour marathon in all 50 states and a marathon on every continent.

         As a member of the Barrington 220 Board of Education since May 2021, I've served on the Board Policy Committee, District Equity Team and twice as our 220 board delegate to the Illinois Association of School Board's General Assembly.
