Thank you for taking the time to check out the Meet Erin page. It is a pleasure to meet you! When hiring a consultant, it’s important to know their back story and who they are. I did not take a traditional path in the beginning, but with that, I’m able to offer a unique perspective with your communications/marketing needs.
My professional life began with the Ford Modeling Agency in NYC, specializing as a high fashion print model. But I wasn’t fulfilled and returned home to Florida, which helped me find my passion and natural ability for communications.
I started in an ad agency but soon moved on to a publicity job at Fantasma Productions. They were a huge concert promoter and I promoted concerts for Bon Jovi, Joe Welch, Beastie Boys, BB King, Hank Williams Jr., and more. But, the rock n’ roll life takes a toll, and I was ready for a change and some sleep.

I then moved on to production and on-air work. This led to emcee work that included: Disney, Hawaiian Tropic, Sports Car Club of America, and The Jammy Music Awards. (Florida’s version of the Grammy’s.)
As my professional life grew, I moved to Orlando and landed a job as an entertainer at the Disney/MGM Studios. I was hired for the Disney version of the reboot of Let’s Make a Deal, that Dick Clark Productions was producing in Orlando. Yes, I was a game show host! (How many consultants can say that, right?) I hosted two other shows, and I also did the celebrity interviews, including Neil Diamond, Howie Mandel, and Pierce Brosnan. Three of my shows held 1000 people in the audience, and this is where I honed my skills speaking in front of large groups.

After Disney, I returned on-air, but this time in sales. Things were moving along beautifully and then came 9/11, which caused my professional life to come to a screeching halt. The show I was hosting in Miami folded, and I was scrambling like many others.
This is when I maneuvered my career into the medical arena. I took my diverse communications skills from on-air sales, emceeing, Disney and concert promoting and started my new career as a medical marketer.
I have been blessed to work with some of the best medical groups in Greater Orlando, including Advent Health, Florida Orthopedic Associates, Delaney OB/GYN, Advanced Women’s Health Specialists, Orlando Foot and Ankle Clinic, Center for Reproductive Endocrinology, and more.
I missed my former professional life at first, but when I got into the medical field, I found my true calling: a life of service to others. Working as a consultant gives me the opportunity to help others grow their practices and businesses while utilizing my experience. I feel fortunate to be living my passion and assisting others in growing their business.
It has been quite a journey, and I am here to help you. Contact me and let’s get started on “our journey”.

While some marketing people are satisfied with dropping off pens or cookies, her approach has been much more focused. She is constantly making sure that the referral office staff she is visiting are satisfied with our services. She actively seeks out any problems or concerns so that can be dealt with before they become real issues.

She personally visited multiple Primary Care offices to help us secure new patients for our practice.
Erin’s work ethic and skills were exemplary…Erin changed referring practice referral patterns to our group in an extremely positive way. She had an obvious and serious impact on drawing patient’s from our competitor’s practices.
Erin provided customer service training to our entire staff and provided written materials to reinforce a strong customer-service focus for our practice. With her help and contacts, we had our website re-designed and created a uniform “brand” for the practice at a reasonable price with professional results.
