Erin MARSH | Writer + Disability Advocate​

​

Erin Marsh is a storyteller, educator, and communications professional with a passion for language, accessibility, and connecting people.

​

She currently works as Finance & Marketing Manager for Seibold Baker, a commercial furniture rep group serving architects, designers, and dealerships.

​

Over the past 15+ years, Erin has worked in journalism, education, nonprofit communications, marketing, and social media. Her writing has appeared in numerous publications, including The Washington Post, Business Insider, Shondaland, Refinery29, and Parents Magazine. She has also produced multimedia content for Verizon Innovative Learning and served as assignment editor for Toledo Area Parent.

​

After earning dual bachelor's degrees in English Literature and French, Erin moved to New York City to complete her master's degree in English Education while serving with AmeriCorps. She later spent time living in Europe, where immersion transformed her degree in French into true fluency and deepened her appreciation for different cultures and ways of living.

 

Education remains a central part of Erin's life, and she has taught at the high school and collegiate level.

​

Although Erin grew up deaf and undiagnosed neurodivergent, she was mainstreamed and relied primarily on lipreading and residual hearing. When her daughter began losing her hearing at age four, Erin started learning ASL in order to teach her. Today, she is working toward fluency because she believes language access should never depend on how much someone can hear.

​

When she's not writing, teaching, or creating content, Erin can be found traveling, exercising (whatever her current obsession is), reading, learning new languages, or advocating for accessibility and inclusion.
