Robyn adorned her academic cap with a B.A. in Music Education from the University of Northern Iowa and then packed her bags for Colorado in 2003. She was on a mission to achieve her M.A. from Denver Seminary and launched More Than Funds, a professional services organization aimed at catapulting human performance to new heights.
In 2011, she became a Core Team Member for Leadership Strategies, contributing her dynamic skillset to the team. She's not just an ordinary team member though - she's a certified MBTI Instructor and has experience with MBTI, StrengthsFinder and fundraising. Currently a realtor with Keller Williams DTC, she also spent time as a VP with Rescue America, a national organization that fights sex trafficking.
In 2021, Robyn ran for Centennial City Council, a race that was all about people and issues, not party affiliation. She won and is currently serving a 4-year term, working tirelessly for her community.
In 2024, Robyn expanded her network and passion for serving by receiving the nomination to run for the Colorado State Senate. Despite a loss by very close margins (~4%), she gained incredible name recognition, connections, and insights for future political endeavors. Robyn is now running for her second city council term.
Robyn's roots are planted deep in the Dutch community of Northwest Iowa, a testament to her strong work ethic and humble beginnings. Today, she's made a home in the vibrant city of Centennial, CO, alongside her supportive husband and two spirited sons. Her life outside of her professional commitments is just as full and enriching.
Nothing beats a robust cup of coffee to kick start her mornings followed by a run with her faithful 79-pound companion, Samson. She is her boys' biggest cheerleader, her voice echoing from the sidelines at their sporting events. Her life is a testament to balance, joy, and resilience - a constant source of inspiration.
