About Erin: Erin Zaikis was raised in Boston, to a dentist and a lawyer who embraced continuously giving back. Her dreams of being an astronomer were put on permanent hold after watching “Slumdog Millionaire” and realizing that she wanted to focus on problems a bit closer to home. After graduating from the University of Michigan she found herself in rural Thailand, meeting children who had never used soap and didn’t know how to wash their hands.
