Erin McDonald was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas and is a third generation Fort Worthian. She attended the University of Georgia where she obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration in 2008.
After graduation, Erin returned to Fort Worth and began working in development for United Community Centers (UCC), a local nonprofit agency that has been serving the people of Fort Worth for more than 100 years. Following her time with UCC, she left to begin her role as Director of Business Development, and later Chief Operating Officer, for McDonald Law Firm where she played a significant role in the growth of the firm, including their Social Security Disability practice. Erin is also a licensed EDPNA, a non-attorney representative who provides representation for claimants during the Social Security Disability adjudicatory process.
Erin’s work at both UCC and McDonald Law Firm expanded her passion for helping people – especially those who are experiencing medical or financial stress. This resolve to help people in need lead to her founding Panther Insurance Services.
Outside of work, Erin is still involved with UCC as a current board member. As a lover of dogs, she is a strong advocate for “adopt don’t shop” and encourages everyone to look at your local shelters when ready to make the important decision to bring a pet into your life. She enjoys spending time at the family lake house at Possum Kingdom where her family has been going since the early 1960s.
