Erin Shachory
A former military brat, Erin lived in southern Italy as a teenager and fell in love with the Italian people and food in equal measure. In her professional life, she has worked as a marketing consultant and social media manager, and is a board member of Lide Haiti. She began studying Italian with Elisa several years ago while writing her young adult novel Muse Warrior, a story set in Naples and steeped in Roman mythology. Erin lives in Southern California with her husband, three daughters and various cats and bunnies, but always dreams of her next trip to Florence... or Rome... or Ischia...
