Whittier College

Robin grew up in Montebello, CA where she was raised by two hard-working parents who made tremendous sacrifices to allow Robin to pursue her dream of playing college basketball.  After graduating from Schurr High School, Robin had multiple opportunities to pursue her passion of college basketball at various colleges.  She is grateful that she decided on Whittier College which was local to her parents and where she was able to find her future husband, Ryan Jones. 
 
Earning her degree in Kinesiology allowed her to be a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach for 12 years.  Looking to fulfill her passion of helping people, she obtained her Registered Nursing degree from Citrus College and is currently working towards a second Bachelor’s degree and then on to a Master’s of Science in Nursing.  She is loving work in the Intensive Care Unit and enjoys her work immensely!
 
Robin and Ryan live in Covina and have two (mostly) sweet and adorable kids.
