As the Academic Programs Assistant, Robin provides support to Bren faculty, visitors, and students to ensure smooth and successful instruction, including room scheduling, course enrollment, field trips, and DSP requests. Robin tracks all academic activities as well as alerts students to upcoming deadlines for registration, Master's Projects, and other program requirements. She is the primary contact for the Academic Programs and Scheduling Teams help-ticket system and processes Eligibility Verification requests from outside departments hiring Bren students. She maintains multiple electronic calendars for courses, events, and meetings, as well as content on the Bren Academic Programs web pages.

Before joining Bren, Robin worked for UCSB’s Anthropology Department for 13 years, first as the Graduate Program Coordinator, then another 10 years as the Business Officer. She managed graduate student advising and financial support as well as complex departmental accounting, curriculum, and the curation of archaeological collections space. Before her UCSB staff experience, Robin enjoyed an extensive career as an educator, primarily creating and presenting natural history and conservation education curricula and programs for Channel Islands National Park, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, and The Nature Conservancy’s Santa Cruz Island Preserve. 

Robin is a second-generation UCSB alumna, earning her BA in both Environmental Studies and Anthropology, as well as her teaching credential from UCSB’s Graduate School of Education. She has lived most of her life in Santa Barbara, spending countless hours on local islands, trails, and the Santa Barbara Channel. When not at work, Robin enjoys DIY projects, fiber arts, and spending time with her son and their two cats.
