In her practice, Erin ensures the best possible understanding of each client’s needs by developing and nurturing solid relationships. In addition, she applies her knowledge and skill to ensure her clients receive advice specifically suited to their personal and business needs.

A leader at McGill, she won many awards including the William Kagan Memorial Prize for Distinction in the Study of Real Estate.
