SOUTHSIDE ARTS DISTRICT

Erin is a lifelong resident of Bethlehem. A large portion of her career has been traveling the globe for technology companies in roles of project management, human resources, and talent acquisition; however, her continued passion and love for Bethlehem has kept her here. A lover of the arts and music, she also serves as Vice Chair for the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks. You will often find her enjoying all the live music and festivals Bethlehem has to offer. Erin is thrilled to contribute to the revitalization of SouthSide Bethlehem by supporting the community’s local arts, music, and small businesses.
