Robin has lived on three continents and speaks four languages.  She has a wealth of professional work experience and is a recent graduate of Oxford University where she just completed her master’s degree.

We learn how Robin has accomplished so much at such a young age. We also talk about the application process of applying to an elite university; she shares tips on how to gain admission. Robin also shares how to apply for scholarships that will fund your education.  Robin has shared this information to help others that need the financial assistance just as she did.
