Bio for Heather E. Robyn, Ed.D
I was born and raised in Southern California. Yes, I say “dude” a lot, I map driving directions based on travel time rather than distance, I will never pass up having In-N-Out, and I drive a Jeep. I’m Californian for the most part.
As an avid learner, I earned my Doctorate degree in Education and spent several years in Social Work helping foster youth and homeless veterans. Our family made the transition from San Diego to the Bay Area in 2017 when I was offered a position as an Informatics Educator with Stanford Health Care, and life has taken off since. I teach an Electronic Health Record (EHR) called Epic to hospital staff, which is a fast pace position, especially during the pandemic and all the changes occurring within the healthcare system within the past year.
When I’m not creating and writing Children and Young Adult books, I enjoy traveling with my family and exploring new activities. Raised a Chicago sports fan (my dad is from Chicago), I frequent baseball and hockey games when my teams are in town and I also try to catch some rugby when I can. I thrive on knowing the most random of facts and utilize them when I can…which is usually in the classroom.
I currently live in San Jose with my two amazing teenage children, my fabulous boyfriend Matt, and our cuddle beast Husky, Echo.
