Hello! My name is Erin Culp, and I am an independent living specialist with LIFTT. I am 29 years old and was born right here in Billings. Montana. I grew a love for “Harry Potter” early on and still do! I grew up in Huntley, a small community just outside of Billings, where I loved to go fishing, hang out at bonfires, and be with family and friends. I recently joined LIFTT because I have grown up with a passion for helping others. I have a family who worked with children with disabilities my whole life. I love helping others because I get to watch them grow. You get to see their smiles when they finally get something done that they have been working towards for weeks or longer.
As I got older, I found myself leaning towards jobs where I could help others. I was a CNA working with the elderly and helping them feel comfortable no matter what stage of life they were in. I then changed jobs to working with adults with different disabilities. I helped them within their homes, cooking, cleaning, helping them work towards independence, and that they were heard on their needs. I then started running supported living homes where I worked with Case Managers and family members of the clients, ensuring they had the things they needed to stay healthy and happy. During these jobs, my youngest of three children was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. This made my passion grow to help him and others with disabilities learn and grow.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, being with my family, and watching my children play whatever sport they are into. With three kids, we are usually on the go most days! On slow weekends, my family enjoys watching movies together, including the “Harry Potter” series, of course!! We enjoy camping, fishing, and just enjoying family time.
