Erin Pollard

Following a Bachelor of Applied Science, Erin Pollard began a career in the not-for-profit sector as a conference planner, advocate, grant writer, educator, and support worker. Clients with mental health, addictions, and food and housing insecurity told stories of struggle and resilience and inspired Erin to pursue diplomas in Documentary Film and Creative Writing. Graduating in May 2024 with an MFA in Creative Nonfiction, this emerging author will continue writing bruising narratives, including her biography/memoir and short pieces on foster care, adoption, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. When she’s not attached to her laptop, she’ll be walking her geriatric dog with her favourite people.
