I love what I do for a living as long as it’s helping other people - either developing someone on my team to discover their hidden potential or making an emotional connection with a customer so much that it resonates with them and impacts their life in a positive way.
Originally from Los Angeles, I have lived in New York for over 15 years with my boyfriend, Evan. On the weekends, you can typically find me waking up early and going for a cell-phone-free walk before the city wakes up or trying a new restaurant. During the week, I’m usually trying to convince a coworker to grab a drink or a bite after work!
I’m constantly on instagram @robyncruz getting inspired more than actually posting.
Although I don’t have kids of my own, I am obsessed with kids and I promise you I am the world’s best babysitter. I have 6 nieces and nephews and spoil them rott-EN.
I love to travel. It’s in my DNA. The world is too beautiful to visit the same place twice.
My top 3 places to visit in New York:
Staten Island Ferry - Be the last one on during sunset and look back at the skyline. You’ll thank me later, plus it’s free!
Riding a bike over the Manhattan Bridge
Dani’s Pizza in Queens. I will personally take you if you’re still reading this!
I am humbled by anyone who takes the time to read this so thank you!
Sincerely,
Robyn
