Erin Olson laces up her hockey skates for Team Weyerhaeuser in her free time. But in her day job in Montana as a Wood Products IT business relationship manager, you'll find her in the middle of complex human and technological networks that help keep our work running smoothly. Erin's career started when she took a summer job at the plywood mill we now own in Kalispell, Montana. She shares deep family connections to the industry: her grandpa, father and two brothers worked across multiple Montana mills, and her husband Greg has worked for Weyerhaeuser for the past seven years. Erin covered roles in human resources and accounts payable before an IT leader informed her of a job opening in the department. She jumped at the chance. "I don't remember if I even knew how to spell IT then, but I said yes," Erin says. "That led to a 19-year career in IT." Erin's advice for others: Learn the business, get to know your coworkers, be curious and advocate for yourself. "If given a chance to do something, say yes, whether it's to tour a plant, sit in on an operations call or have dinner with someone outside your business. Our employees are our greatest teachers." #TheWeyerhaeuserWay
