Support Teacher
Robin graduated from the University of Oregon in 2016 with a BA in Communication Disorders and Sciences (with an interest in Autism). At college, Robin found her true calling for education and Autism related studies, directing her work and volunteer efforts toward helping others.
Robin's interest in this area began when her younger brother was diagnosed with Autism. He is now in transition and an amazing young man. They enjoy playing games together, going into bookstores, checking out the latest Nintendo Switch drop, building Star Wars Legos and discovering independence in daily life. When he was younger she would often watch his Speech Therapist at work and was inspired by his teacher, realizing the impact one could make on a child’s life and this sparked her desire to be that person for others.
After graduation, Robin began working at a local Autism Gym where she built a strong foundation in supporting children and families in the Autism community, it is here that she met some amazing Victory families and joined the team. She believes in meeting students exactly where they are, guiding them with patience and encouragement to help unlock their fullest potential. As a job coach, she helps students gain valuable, transferable job skills in the community, guiding them toward independence and confidence. With a focus on positive energy transfer and the power of fun, she turns learning into memorable experiences that truly have a lasting impact.
In her free time, Robin enjoys hiking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and traveling. She is always looking for the best views and adventures. Robin also enjoys working out at OrangeTheory doing HIIT workouts, trying new yoga and pilates classes or hopping on her paddleboard to fish. Robin is an avid reader and enjoys tasting her way through Portland’s vibrant food culture.
