Erin          

Stratton. 

Welcome! My name is Erin, and I wear many hats. I did my MDiv at Duke Divinity School and am an ordained pastor. I moved to Durham, North Carolina from Chicago by way of California where I completed my BA at Pepperdine University and spent more time at Disneyland than any student should. I love running slowly, spaghetti, and board games. This site is a combination blog, portfolio, and life documentation project that is always in flux and always in need of an update. I’m glad you’re here.
