For seven years, Chef Robin served as Director of Culinary Programs and Executive Pastry Chef at Oak Grove Culinary Creations, combining professional food-service operations with hands-on culinary workforce development.

Today, she continues that work through Robin’s Nest Desserts & Catering and her mobile kitchen social-enterprise initiatives, creating pathways to culinary skills, employment readiness, entrepreneurship, and greater economic independence. Her work especially focuses on women rebuilding their lives, at-risk and foster youth, adults and children with disabilities, and individuals facing barriers to employment.

Chef Robin’s journey represents more than accomplishments in the kitchen. Her recognitions reflect a career centered on culinary excellence, social entrepreneurship, faith, mentorship, workforce development, and service to the community.
