TNP FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP
UT Health Houston
Robin is a registered nurse with four years of clinical experience and a prior 20-year career in forensic DNA science. Now pursuing a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree in the Adult-Gerontology Primary Care track, she is deeply committed to serving the growing geriatric population in Texas. Her professional journey has been shaped by a passion for science, a dedication to public service, and a desire to provide high-quality, compassionate care to older adults.
Through her nursing experience, Robin has witnessed the difference that skilled, empathetic practitioners can make in the lives of elderly patients. She aims to build on that foundation by integrating evidence-based practice, chronic disease management, and health advocacy into geriatric care. Her goal is to become a primary care provider or certified gerontological nurse practitioner focused on improving access and outcomes—especially for underserved communities.
As a future DNP, Robin hopes to contribute to a healthcare system that honors dignity in aging, advances equity in care, and supports the unique needs of older adults across Texas. Robin’s long-term vision includes clinical excellence, community engagement, and leadership in geriatric practice.
