Portrait of Dr. Erin Kathryn Dorrell

Biography and education

I am a first generation college student and moved to the United States at the ​age of 12 from the Cayman Islands. ​I developed a passion for libraries through my volunteer work and that has driven my educational goals. I hold a Ph.D. in Educational Studies, from The Ohio State University, with an emphasis in learning technologies, a master’s degree in library and information science, specializing in digital libraries, from Indiana University and a bachelor's degree in business administration from Lamar University.
