Robin is an elementary school teacher with a master's degree in reading. She has taught for over 25 years in Massachusetts, most recently as the Reading Specialist/Coach with the North Brookfield Public Schools. She believes strongly in the magic of good teaching and is looking forward to learning from and with the communities in Ashburnham and Westminster.
