Bio

Robin is a White parent of two teenagers enrolled in Title I, majority Black and Brown public schools in Washington, DC.

Professionally, she comes to us from a career in public health policy, with service in all three branches of government. Robin trained as a lawyer and worked for over two decades on tobacco product regulation, health equity and environmental health. After attending an Integrated Schools DC chapter event in 2018, Robin knew that she had found her people. She became an avid podcast listener and regular participant in IS discussions, joining the DC chapter leadership team in 2021.
