Contrary to popular belief, Robin was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her East Coast "joie de vivre" often has many people fooled. She got her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Drama from the University of California, Irvine, spending her junior year abroad at Sussex University, Brighton England. She was fortunate enough to appear in countless productions on both sides of the Atlantic throughout her career.

Since graduating, Robin has been studying her craft continuously with Cameron Watson, Gordon Hunt, Darryl Hickman, Groundlings and many others. She belonged for several years to Actors' Alley and later Moving Arts theatre companies where she performed on stage to rave reviews.

Robin now most happily makes her living as a television actor. Her career includes many great award winning sitcoms from "Modern Family" to "Cheers".

She was a recurring character on "According to Jim" as Jim's neighbor Marilyn Crannis. Her voice could be heard throughout "Frasier's" ten years on the air as she was one of the show's regular voice-over artists.
