Before joining Swarm, Robbins spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Hunter College in New York. There, she helped lead the team to an impressive 33-15 conference record, a CUNYAC Championship title in 2019, and a historic NCAA tournament bid – the program’s first in 15 years.
As a former Division II basketball player, Robbins excelled on the court during her collegiate career, ranking second nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio as a freshman and sophomore. She was also among the top 10 in 3-point field goal percentage and assists per game. Robbins was named to both the WVIAC All-Freshman Team and the WVIAC All-Tournament Team. She scored over 1,000 points in both her college and high school careers.
In high school, Robbins led New York State Section V in scoring during her senior year, averaging 23.6 points per game.
