About Me

A community enthusiast and advocate to the very core, I have recently graduated with myMaster’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University at Albany – SUNY with anemphasis in Community Development. Prior to earning this degree, I worked for many years asa Workforce Development Specialist, Trainer and Group Facilitator for individuals withdisAbilities of all ages, with stints at organizations such as United Cerebral Palsy, The DeltaGamma Center for Children with Visual Impairment, Northeastern Association of the Blind atAlbany and the Statler Center for Careers in Hospitality. Teaching has always been a passionthroughout all of these endeavors, having graduated from Southern Illinois UniversityCarbondale with my Bachelor's in Special Education degree in 2009. Through student teaching,tutoring in college for AmeriCorps, and my professional experiences, I have experience teachingstudents with special needs in classrooms K-12 (all subjects), tutoring all levels of Math andReading, preparing individuals for the GED, and teaching the hard and soft skills of jobreadiness. Higher level subjects in the social sciences such as Psychology and Economics havealways been a strength and I am more than happy to share my passion there, too! As aneducator, I am highly creative with how I go about sharing my knowledge and as a highachieving student myself, I have tricks up my sleeve for how to tackle even the meanest ofsubjects and exams. I look forward to helping you reach your educational goals.

Q&A with Robyn

With a background in special education, my teaching philosophy is to adopt a teaching style that works best for my student and takes into account their learning preferences and interests. I do my best to make lessons fun and engaging when possible, and often have students teach material back to me to demonstrate learning and understanding.
