"My name is Erin Stefancin, and I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I live in Ohio's capital city, Columbus, where I am a first-year Master's student, studying Speech-Language Pathology at the Ohio State University. I hope to work with adults in an acute care hospital setting, specialising in stroke and traumatic brain injury.
"I also have a passion for volunteering with those with physical and cognitive disabilities through adaptive sports and games, like floor hockey and wheelchair-friendly bowling. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, doing yoga, baking, cooking, and hiking with my dog, Brady.
"My maternal grandparents, Sean and Agnes (McGrath) Fox, hail from Cong, Co Mayo, and paternal grandparents Bob and Grace (Toolis) Stefancin from Achill. One of my favourite traditions growing up has been participating annually in Cleveland's Saint Patrick's Day Parade, the largest in Ohio with a 176-year tradition.
"I have enjoyed singing since I was three-years-old, with a love of singing songs like Lady of Knock at my sister's wedding and Whiskey in the Jar in the pub with my family!"
