Robin was an imaginative child, always creating. Her early introduction to the whimsical verse of British poet, Edward Lear (1812-1888) left an enduring impression. At age ten, her first story (bound in staples), was on the shelf at her elementary school library. Today, Robin integrates a bachelor's degree in communications with studies in creative writing from Emerson College and a master's degree in counseling psychology from Lesley University. Following a professional career in management, Robin discovered the gratifying work in the social sector. She has led middle school workshops, tutored immigrant families in English, mentored young women with children in transitional housing, among other rewarding adventures that always reinforced the value of inclusion. Robin and her husband raised three kids and live in Massachusetts enjoying time with family and friends. When she's not crafting a story, Robin is likely crafting contemporary art with paper, glass, and mixed media, creating business names and taglines, or visiting Cape Cod, Florida, and New York (a true melting pot).
