She shared her compelling life story to encourage and support the journey of present and future generations: "My path to engineering and entrepreneurship has not always been smooth and straight. There have been many curves and bumps along the way... I believe it is now my responsibility to offer...opportunities, not only to those who believe, but to give those who may not know what they are capable of, a chance!"
Robin was applauded for her commitment to mentoring and advising young people at a time when there is the greatest need for increasing numbers of persons in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, she stands in the gap by sharing her experiences.

“Our solutions are bigger than any one profession or job. We must reclaim our interconnections and learn to freely share information with each other, and to support the success of a new generation. We must create connections and collaborations. Our goal must be to move this system in the direction of caring what happens to persons who need it the most, and we must take our place in that effort. We will find a way to make a difference!"
