Regional Director

ufdcrd2s@ufdc.org

Welcome to Region 2 South. Robin has been a member of UFDC since 2003. She discovered this wonderful organization from a fellow doll lady while shopping in a local mall. She had no idea that such a great organization existed. Still, since joining, she has gone gangbusters on getting involved, enjoying her hobby with fellow members, and spreading the word wherever possible.

Robin's love for dolls knows no bounds. She collects everything from the French Bisque of the 1800s to the modern ball-jointed dolls of today. She even has a soft spot for those Russian Nesting Dolls. Her inclusive approach to doll collecting makes her a welcoming figure in the community.

She has attended most local doll events and is a member of seven doll clubs (5 local and 2 online) and the local doll council. Each of her clubs focuses on different aspects of her collecting, so it is VERY hard to leave any. It keeps her busy. She is a UFDC Judge for the national conventions, loves to lecture on various doll topics, and holds a yearly local-level doll competition to encourage people to bring their dolls for everyone to enjoy. In her spare time away from these wonderful dollies, she is a computer software engineer working for a global software corporation. She also has a wonderful, tolerant husband of 45 years and three grown children who roll their eyes and deal with mom's strange hobby.
