As Lawyer, Early Resolution at the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society, Robyn used her strong organizational and prioritization skills to manage a heavy and complex workload effectively. Robyn remained committed to and focused on public protection while developing an accessible, culturally sensitive, professional and compassionate complaints process focused on transparency and accountability. Robyn’s writing style is clear, concise, empathetic, professional and always tailored to the particular audience. Because of her strong communication skills, Robyn was invited to engage in research and writing for other matters relating to professional responsibility, ethics and risk for conferences and various publications. When Robyn decided to change professional direction in July of 2020 and become self-employed, I applauded her decision, knowing that her skills and experience will be of great benefit to others.
