Robyn Wilds

You know what's pretty scary?
My hair looks pretty much the same as it did in my senior pic haha!

After graduating, I attended Cornish College of the Arts (Seattle) for 1 year as a theatre major, and then went to Highline Comm. College for 2 years where it was a case of musical majors. I took a break from college to work for a while and in 1995 met my future husband (on AOL of all places!)
We met in person 6 months later and lived in his home state of Ohio for 2 years before moving back to Seattle in 1998. We were married in Sept. 1999 at Seattle University, which I had just started attending. LeEllen Nemours was my maid of honor!
My former husband was a defense contractor for the Air Force, so we lived in OH, VA and Germany. We LOVED Germany. We separated in 2005 and I moved back to Seattle, but we remained very close friends until his unexpected death in November, 2017.

Since moving back to Seattle, I went back to Seattle University to complete my B.A. in Criminal Justice and Psychology, since I couldn't decide whether I wanted to go into law or counseling. I also took the paralegal course at Highline College.
I worked as a paralegal for a couple of weeks in 2017, decided I hated it and I knew that I wouldn't be happy doing that for the long term because at the end of the day I didn't feel that I was helping anyone.
I decided to switch over to counseling, and in August, 2017 I started a new career as a treatment counselor/CDP-T (chemical dependency professional trainee) at Sea Mar Community Health Centers. I started off at the south Seattle inpatient facility for adolescent boys, but then transferred to the inpatient adult facility in Tacoma, where I've been ever since. I love my job, the clients and my coworkers! I am currently taking CDP classes at Bellevue College so I can take my state CDP certification test, and then I'll probably go for my Master's degree in Psychology.
It's wonderful to finally find a career that I love!

Oh where to begin, there were so many funny things that happened!

Concert choir and drama were the best times. The burping contest backstage in drama (who me, burp, never! ;)
I still say I won that one, Mandy!
Falling downstairs backstage, on the stage where the audience was sitting during a performance and me dropping a "S" bomb and someone in the audience saying, "Haha, I bet that was Robyn!"
Bye Bye Birdie, and the entire cast standing on stage getting chewed out by Mr.Cuffel and all of us trying so hard not to crack up.
Going to Victoria, B.C. to perform, Rushing home from rehearsals to catch Dynasty every Wed. night, my friends and I taking off at lunchtime to go to my place and lounge in the pool while drinking wine coolers (remember when those were the coolest thing?), and then blowing off 5th and 6th period. Lunch with Melody, Denise, Jill, LeEllen and the gang, slipping and sliding across the cafeteria floor on a grape haha.
