Prior to joining NCRC, Robin worked in Columbia, South Carolina where she was the South Carolina Bar’s Pro Bono Director and the South Carolina Access to Justice Commission’s first Executive Director. Prior to that, Robin worked as an attorney for Protection and Advocacy for People with Disabilities now known as Disability Rights South Carolina.  Robin has been licensed as an attorney in South Carolina since November 1999.
