Erin Parsons
Erin is a Real Estate Agent and Entrepreneur in Brooklyn. She spent fourteen years in event management, the restaurant industry, managing a local wine shop, and working in non-profit work with underserved youth. She is a proud alum of San Diego State where she studied International Security & Conflict Resolution and has completed designations in Event & Convention Management/Hospitality & Tourism programs through New York University and George Washington University.
Erin’s personal passions are as varied and intense as her business passions: she is an avid field hockey player, a book club founder, a cyclist, a dog fosterer, a community gardener, an adventurous traveler, a painter, and a kayaker. She is new to storytelling and the writing community, but is a big supporter of the arts, advocacy and having representation in all communities. She brings her sense of humor to overcome the challenges life throws at her and has many interesting stories to tell from her adventures.
What Is HTBAF:
How To Build A Fire in its 8th season of storytelling at Open Source Gallery. When the series began, we wanted to reflect the part of the nature of the gallery itself: that art isn’t just about entertainment, and that stories can breach the inherent gaps that exist within our local communities. Terence Degnan returns as curator and host for Season 8 and the format will shift to long-form narratives, which will give our audiences a more immersive encounter with the stories, themselves. There will be twelve storytellers – one story every month (for up to 45 minutes).
