Robin earned her BA in English at Vanderbilt University and an MA in English at the University of Virginia. After graduating from Vanderbilt, Robin worked as an admissions officer, reviewing applications for all four undergraduate schools and coordinating campus visit programs, kicking off her college counseling career that has spanned over 20 years.

Robin then worked as a Senior Assistant Director of Admission at Georgetown, where she chaired the admissions committees for both first-year applicants and transfer students and oversaw the transfer admissions process. In her time in admissions, Robin has reviewed thousands of applications, including those from students applying to liberal arts and sciences, engineering, education, business, language and linguistics, and international relations programs. Robin has extensive experience in reviewing applications from students all across the US, so she knows how to help students stand out in the admissions process.

As a counselor, Robin really enjoys helping students discover what their “story” is and how to illustrate that in their applications. The essay has always been her favorite part of the application process, both as a counselor and admissions officer. She enjoys working with students to help them find compelling essay topics that will encourage admissions officers to advocate for them.

Robin aims to alleviate the stress surrounding the college application process by helping students create timelines so they stay organized and complete their applications efficiently and in advance of application deadlines.  Robin takes a student-centered approach to counseling, ensuring that students feel empowered to navigate the process while helping them create a balanced list of best-fit schools.

In her spare time, you can find Robin playing with her two dogs, Miley and Sequoia, volunteering at the local humane society, and cheering on the Milwaukee Bucks. Robin also enjoys staying active through cycling, running, and strength training and she is a fervent reader.
