Robin is a trauma-informed trainer, parenting coach, speaker, and writer. She also serves as the Outreach Pastor at Pantano Christian Church in Tucson, AZ. She has a passion for partnering with schools, churches and the community. She believes that when our churches, schools, and communities understand the effects of trauma, it changes how we respond and show up for others. When we respond to those around us with compassion and empathy, we help build bridges of connection and healing.
Robin and her husband, Roger, were married in 1991 and have 5 daughters including 4 biological and 1 adopted out of foster care ranging in age from 20-30 years old. Her life is full with family, church, training and inspiring others. She is a certified trainer for the AZ ACEs Consortium, the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework, and a Trained Independent Facilitator of the Love and Logic® Curriculum (having taught well over 4,000 parents and educators these amazing tools.) She has a B.S. in Child Development and an M.A. in Human Resource Leadership.
Robin published her first book in November of 2020 – Where in the Zoo Are You? – a children’s book with resources to help children talk about their emotions concerning traumatic events like COVID-19. Reading, diamond art projects and taking photos of flowers are 3 of the ways that Robin refills her tank.
