  • "Dr. Robinson is a staunch advocate for women's health and ending the HIV epidemic. She is a delight to work with in the public health realm. She is working hard to spread awareness about HIV and PrEP in the Black community. She was recently a guest on my podcast where she shared informative insights. I would definitely recommend that she be reached out to for other speaking opportunities."

  • "Dr. Robinson joined us in May 2023 during LIV Career Services Federal Health Career Series as a guest speaker. She shared incredible insights on necessary skills for a successful career in the federal government as a public health professional. She understood how to engage with our audience and was also very personable in her delivery. Would highly recommend her for panel discussions and speaking engagements."

  • “My overall experience was great! She has been my mentor throughout pretty much the entirety of my DrPH program. Without her constant accountability, support, and guidance, I know I would not have finished my program nearly on time or as successfully as I did without her. She made sure that I followed up and knew exactly what my program requirements are, and met them, in order to gain the skills that I needed out of my program. She also shared kind words and commiserated with me when I felt so tired of being in school--helping me have the energy to continue and make my way to my pending graduation. ”

  • "Dr. Robinson is a highly effective public speaker, content expert, and meeting facilitator. I have worked closely with her on Ending the HIV Epidemic efforts in Louisiana, for which she has proven to be an invaluable resource. Recently, Dr. Robinson was able to present her dissertation research on PrEP and HBCUs for a group of public health practitioners in East Baton Rouge Parish. She also facilitated a high-level meeting with Office of National AIDS Policy, Louisiana Department of Health, City of New Orleans, and community stakeholders. This was an excellent opportunity to create dialogue about the needs of people living with HIV in Louisiana with those at the highest levels of federal public health administration. I look forward to my ongoing professional relationship with Dr. Robinson and will continue connecting her with individuals for whom I believe she will be a resource and leader."

  • “Dr. Robinson is an amazing mentor. From day 1 we went over some of my goals and worked on some mutual action steps to break down those goals. She is very resourceful, charismatic, and truly cares about uplifting and motivating her mentees. This was evident when she consistently would share that our mentor-mentee relationship goes beyond even the program and she is only a call away if needed for support during my career trajectory. Thank you so much Dr. Robinson for everything and for being an outstanding mentor turned friend.”
