Educational Background: Went to school at NC State University and earned a graduate degree in business and marketing. ​

What she was like in high school: Your average high school student, hardworking, cheerleader, and helped in athletic directing. 
What she thinks about Apex and the renovations: Likes Apex, but sees reasons for renovation. Loves the people she works with (like Ms. Caudill) and dislikes how spread out the campus is.
What her most memorable moment as a teacher is: A student had a very hard time trying to graduate. On graduation day the student came up to Ms. Robinson saying “I did it! You believed in me!” and knew that all the work she put into the student, helped them in order to finish high school. 
Advice to give all students: Enjoy high school and few responsibilities. Too many kids rush to get out of high school. Lastly, find something you love in school and get involved!
