BIOGRAPHY
Robin's story, in a nutshell: She's been a writer in one form or another most of her life (web content, poems, short stories, ten-minute plays, technical manuals, training and marketing materials, 20-page papers in the PhD program for Comparative Literature, and yes essays and articles). She was associate editor for the township newspaper in Somerset, New Jersey for two years while attending grad school at Rutgers. Research, analysis, and interviews are part of her training and what she does every day.
She's been a teacher for middle school, high school, junior college and university students. She's also acted, choreographed, and directed musical theatre for teen and adult amateurs. Then in the fall of 2015 she became obsessed with politics.
She knows that the best way to fully form an opinion is to write about it; she loves watching the seed of some notion evolve as she types; and she loves the research and the learning involved in the process, as well as the interplay of the words.
She has three fantastic children, all grown, who constantly amaze her and warm her heart – even when they don’t agree with her opinions.
