Erin Calandra joined the WTAJ News team in December 2007, covering Clearfield, Elk and Jefferson Counties from the WTAJ News DuBois bureau.  She's now reporting from the WTAJ Newsroom in Altoona.

Prior to coming to WTAJ-TV, Erin was a producer for KBAK, and a producer and reporter for KERO.  Both of those stations are located in Bakersfield, California.

Erin is from State College, and after a few short years in the Pacific sun, she's happy to be back with her friends and family in Happy Valley.

She graduated from the Pennsylvania State University in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in Communications and a minor in English.

Erin lives in Centre County with her husband Bill and her cat Oscar.  When she's not digging up a news story, she's either cooking, traveling or spending time with her family.
