Erin Sanders is an American actress, her most notable role being that of Quinn Pensky, the resident science geek at Pacific Coast Academy, on the Emmy-nominated TV show Zoey 101.

Sanders first started acting at the age of 9, after being discovered by an agent while selling Girl Scout cookies. “I had just turned 9,” she said, “when, accompanied by my mom, I knocked on this guy’s door. After I rattled off all the names and descriptions of the cookies by heart, he said that he was impressed with the way I spoke, and that his friend ran an agency. He gave my mom his card, and the rest is history.”

Since then, Erin has appeared in a number of short films and guest-starred in several TV shows, such as 8 Simple Rules, Judging Amy, Carnivale, American Dreams, and Strong Medicine, as well as in a T-Mobile commercial with Ellen Marlow.

She has been nominated for two Young Artist Awards, one for her recurring role in Carnivale, and one for her starring role in a short film, Never, Never, shown at Sundance Film Festival. She won a 2008 Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Comedy. Erin and the rest of the Zoey cast won 2006 and 2007 Young Artist Awards for Best Young Ensemble Performance in a TV Series. She has also been nominated for a 2005 Women's Image Network Award (WIN Award) for her role as "Quinn" in the Zoey 101 episode "Quinn's Date”. Her character, Quinn Pensky, is the cool science geek at Pacific Coast Academy. She is one of Zoey Brooks' roommates, and she is great friends with Dustin, Zoey's genius little brother. They often work in science experiments together. The Seattle native is not fond of socializing, and prefers to work on her "Quinn-ventions."

In addition to acting, Erin continues to be involved in Girl Scouts, and has been a top cookie seller for 8 years, selling over 13,000 boxes in her cookie career.
