Erin Aldrich-Shean is a former dual-sport professional athlete and US Olympian turned performance, mindset and career coach.

Following a successful athletic career and 10 years into her corporate career, a tragic life event prompted a significant career shift that would end up changing her life for the better. Realizing that what was once a driving force in her career was no longer motivating, she left her career in commercial real estate and chose what felt like a more fulfilling and purposeful path in coaching. She launched Ascension Coaching & Consulting and now coaches others to optimize their potential and awaken their Olympian within.

Erin received her BA and MBA from The University of Texas at Austin and is married to Dr. Andrew Shean, the Chief Academic Officer of Penn Foster. She has two young, wild boys, a labrador retriever and a heart for helping others in their journey to finding their best self.
