Robin is a multimedia storyteller and oral historian and most recently, a member of the 2016 cohort at Columbia University's Masters of Arts in Oral History program (pictured here with her class, sort of).
She is the founder of Just So You Know, an oral history and wellness project for people living with cancer, which, since 2007 has travelled the country to help people share and preserve their own life stories.
She is also the creator of The Four Chairs, an interactive audio exhibit and website with first-person stories of women from motherhood to the empty nest.
As a student at Columbia University's Masters of Arts in Oral History, 2016, she created several interview-based documentary shorts, participated in the Election of 2016 oral history project, and developed The Four Chairs as part of a public pop-up exhibit called "Inside Voices."
She is currently working on an interview and story-based multimedia project about GenX women, to explore how this sandwich generation deals with changes in identity and try to uncover why research shows a rise in depression and anxiety among this population.
Robin also works with nonprofits such as the Anti-Defamation League in Connecticut to produce interview-based films for use in advocacy and activism, institutional memory, marketing and fundraising.
She is available to help other nonprofits document their compelling stories and will also teach oral history workshops to organizations who want to collect their own stories.
