Erin has worked for many years with SQL Server, starting with SQL Server 7.0, and considers herself to be a "data generalist." Her skills go beyond SQL Server, having worked as a software developer many years ago, using ASP.Net and some JSP. In recent years, Erin has worked considerably with PowerShell, transitioning knowledge of .Net classes to PowerShell to make data import processes easier for her teams. Since 2021, she has taken on the role Azure DevOps administrator at Trean Corporation, in addition to her duties as a DBA and systems architect. Beyond her daily roles, Erin has spoken at many SQL Saturday events, as well as SQL Bits and multiple times at PASS Summit. For her dedication to sharing knowledge with the SQL Server community, in 2023, Microsoft recognized Erin with the Data Platform MVP Award.
