Robin Westle is an NYC based actor and singer who was born and bred in Yonkers, NY. Recent film and television projects include The Shiva Callers (short film), Strings Attached, (webseries), and Strip (independent feature film). A cabaret artist, Robin has performed in venues all over NYC and beyond and is the creator, producer, and host of Robin’s Nest, a benefit series.

Often described as “the fun and funny neighbor” or “your sassy aunt,” Robin fell in love with acting when she was six years old and cast as the Wicked Witch, because she was the only one in her camp group who could say “I’m melting” with any conviction. Robin partially credits her current ability to understand and portray rich and interesting characters to a long and successful career as a home and hospital speech and language pathologist.

Robin received her bachelors degree in speech pathology from the University of Buffalo and her masters degree in speech pathology from Teachers College at Columbia University. An adoptive mother of two adult children, Robin is passionate about Helpusadopt, an organization which helps to create all kinds of families through adoption by awarding grants to help offset the high cost of adoption. She is an expert knitter and crocheter as well as plays golf and the guitar. Her knowledge of the International Phonetic Alphabet assists her in learning various dialects.
