Bio
Madeline Willett
Whether managing program staff across the globe, developing operations out of ambiguity, or generating actionable solutions to problems, Erin is a true collaborator. In her work at Verto Education, I repeatedly witnessed Erin move conversations into a productive space, handle crises with calm and expertise, and take multiple perspectives into account while moving the needle toward lofty key objectives. Passionate about DEI, international education, and the delivering high value programs, Erin is a true leader of leaders.
Julia Coursey
Erin is a brilliant project manager, strategic thinker, trainer, and boss. She always has the big picture in mind, but never misses small details. I saw her take on a diverse range of challenging projects during her time at Verto Education and can attest that she knows the international education space inside and out. She's an expert at putting out fires and understands how to plan so that emergencies won't happen. As part of the team she managed, I can attest that she's responsive, empathetic, and extremely smart. I feel very lucky to have worked with her during the pandemic, when these qualities helped her make a difficult time much easier. I have a great deal of respect for her and I wholeheartedly recommend working with her!
