Download Robin’s Resume

Robin’s passion for physical activity and movement began at a young age when she started playing soccer at just 5 years old. As she continued her movement journey into adulthood, Robin developed a passion for additional sports, such as mountain biking and skiing. Robin later ventured into the coaching world, where she worked with the Chilliwack youth soccer association. Here, Robin promoted physical activity as something that should be enjoyable – regardless of one’s physical capabilities. This motivated Robin to apply to the University of the Fraser Valley, where she received her Bachelor of Kinesiology degree in 2018. 

After graduating with her B.Kin, Robin worked as a Kinesiologist for 2 years. She was exposed to a wide variety of clientele, such as WorkSafe BC, ICBC, Veterans of Canada, and more. Robin also worked with a Deafblind child as a support worker during this time. Robin enjoyed these experiences so much that she yearned for a way to give even more back to her clients. She applied to UBC’s Master of Physical Therapy Program in 2021 and graduated in 2023!

Robin’s favourite thing about her clinical placements were the connections she made with her clients. She enjoys learning about each client’s unique life experiences and strives to work collaboratively to make movement something that is meaningful to every individual she meets. Robin can currently prescribe therapeutic exercise, perform manual therapy, offer taping, provide education, and perform soft tissue techniques. She looks forward to further giving back to her community by taking continuing education courses throughout her career. 

When Robin isn’t at work, you can find her on the mountain or the soccer field. She is determined to never stop learning; whether that’s in her sport or through bettering her practice. Robin’s exuberant personality and ability to collaborate with others is her strength, and she looks forward to empowering her clients during their recovery.
