In addition to responding to search missions, Robin instructs and evaluates humans and canines on a national level. She is a rostered Canine Lead Evaluator for the National Association for Search and Rescue and the Search Dogs of the United States as well as an instructor for NASAR's Managing the Lost Peron Incident, a 32 hour search manager class. She has instructed and evaluated across the United States.
Robin currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Search and Rescue Dogs of the United States (SARDUS) and is a past member of the NASAR Canine Committee. In 2003 she founded and is currently the Executive Director of the Paws of Life Foundation. Her affiliation with several search teams enable her to maintain a broad awareness of SAR on many different levels.
Robin currently resides in Iowa with her border collie, a yellow lab mix (both active certified search dogs), a english shepherd puppy (a search dog in training) and a cat that thinks it's a dog. Her full time job is with the Iowa State University Foundation as a development officer in corporations and foundation relations. In her “spare” time, Robin enjoys reading and gardening.
