Robyn has always had a love for nature and the environment. Living in Banff National Park in Canada for many years, surrounded by mountains and immersed in nature helped to reignite her passion for nature and wanting to give back and look after this beautiful place we call home. She now lives in Mandurah, Western Australia, far from any mountains but instead surrounded by the beautiful waterways.    You can often find her on or near the water.  She is passionate about protecting Mandurah's marine environment and the wildlife that call it home.  Robyn is a volunteer with Estuary Guardians engaging with the local community bringing more awareness about the area and why it is so special. Her working career has included many different administrative and coordinating positions, as well as customer service roles.
