Erin Burns-Robertson

Resident Director

Office Phone: ext. 4184

Hi! I was born and raised in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and come from a large family of 8 siblings. I first moved out to California when I came to Biola University for my undergraduate degree in Intercultural Studies and Spanish. After college, I spent three amazing years living in Quito, Ecuador as I worked in student life with a study abroad program. I returned to California in 2018, where I completed by Masters degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care. In 2019, I started working at Biola in Housing & Residence Life, and have been the resident director of Horton Hall since January of 2020. I love working with college students as they navigate all the growth and discovery that this particular season of life holds; and it is such an honor to bear witness to difficult and beautiful moments in their journey. I live in Horton with my spouse, Austin and our two cats. In my free time, I love reading, going to the beach, and playing my new found obsession pickleball.
