Erin Earley

Position: Speech-language pathologist, Rocky Branch Elementary Hometown: New Richmond College attended: UWMadison, B .S. in Communication Sciences & Disorders (2019); M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology (2021). I loved the last six years as a Badger, but I’m excited to be back and beginning my career in the River Falls community!

Hobbies/interests: I enjoy being outside (walking, hiking, biking, running), traveling (especially to Ireland where I studied abroad), yoga, roadtripping, watercolor painting, singing in the car, learning guitar, barista-ing, and baking with my friends. I danced for 15 years and still love taking classes whenever 1 can! And of course, cheering on Wisconsin sports.

Family: I grew up in New Richmond with my parents, twin brother and younger brother, and have lots of extended family in the New Richmond and River Falls areas.

Why did you choose teaching as your profession? 1 have always been passionate about both education and healthcare and love working with children. The field of Speech-Language Pathology encompasses all of these things. Everyone deserves to communicate and connect with others, and I am excited to help each student work towards their own individualized speech, language, and communication goals. I love learning, and truly want school to be fun, positive, and safe for each student I see!
