Erin Zygaitis (she/her)
LRT Administrator, Project Manager, Workforce Development
Erin is not only a seasoned project manager but also an expert cat herder, boasting a wealth of experience across government, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors. Whether she's spearheading complex projects, refining processes, or rallying teams toward a shared objective, Erin is the anchor that keeps everything steady.
​
Hailing from the lush lands of the Willamette valley, you'll often find Erin amidst the tranquility of her garden, enjoying a cup of tea alongside her faithful dog and foster pups, who eagerly lend a paw with the weeding. Alternatively, she may be found camping along the drizzly costal shores with her child, embracing the often-damp joys of nature.
​
When she is not busy enjoying the great outdoors, Erin is indulging her creative side creating unique fiber arts, dabbling is watercolor painting, and tackling triathlons, slowly, but with gusto.
​
Yet, beyond her myriad of hobbies and professional endeavors, Erin's heart lies in education and community engagement. As a devoted Mentor at a local middle school and a dedicated community liaison to the Lane ESD School Board, she tirelessly advocates for the transformative power of education. Erin firmly believes that by nurturing curiosity, fostering innovation, and igniting passion, we can empower the next generation to shape a brighter future.
