Robyn has improved systems and supports for educators and students for three decades. She is a lifelong advocate for children who struggle to make their gifts and needs known. Her first role model was Annie Sullivan, beloved "Teacher" and friend to Helen Keller.

As a teacher for students with multiple labels and challenges, Robyn saw firsthand what they could achieve when they were truly accepted, respected and connected.

Robyn joined Circle of Friends in 2016. As Executive Director, she strengthened the School Inclusion Program, developed Training of Trainers and virtual components, and expanded Circle of Friends's mission to include students impacted by trauma.
