Robyn Carrillo is from San Luis Obispo and moved to Morgan Hill 16 years ago with her husband Oscar and son, who now is attending SF Conservatory of Music. Robyn has a BA degree in art history from UC Santa Cruz and currently is a realtor with Coldwell Banker. Her interests include photography and travel, and she also teaches ballroom dance. She was aware of AAUW in the past but was too busy to participate. More recently, Marian Sacco encouraged her to join. But what really caught her attention was the Black Lives Matter statement that Suman, as branch president, presented at a city council meeting. She is looking forward to working with the DEI team and finding ways to help in the community.
