Robin Cooley - Parent Board Rep

Robin Cooley currently serves as the Parent Board Rep on the UME Prep School Board. She is the proud mother of three children—4-year-old twins and a 9-year-old daughter in 4th grade at UME. Robin and her family were drawn to UME because of its immersive and family-centered approach to education. The UME model, with its shortened school days, engaging homework, and volunteer opportunities, allows her to actively participate in her children’s learning alongside other parents, teachers, and students.

Robin brings a wealth of experience from her diverse professional background. Before dedicating herself to full-time parenting, she held a role as Assistant Accessory Buyer for a luxury boutique and worked as a highly skilled color specialist in a top Dallas salon for over 10 years. With 24 years of professional licensing in the beauty industry and over 7 years of experience in retail management, Robin has honed her ability to work effectively with diverse groups and lead teams with grace.

In addition to her professional endeavors, Robin has actively engaged with the UME community through various volunteer roles:

2021-2022: Grade Level Parent (1st Grade)

2022-2023: PAC Vice President

2023-2024: PAC President

2023-2024: Student Life District Coordinator

Robin’s experience as PAC President has equipped her with the insight and skills necessary to serve in the Parent Board Rep role. She has established strong relationships with PACs at the Dallas and Mansfield campuses and regularly communicates with parents to serve as a resource and advocate. Robin is honored to have been elected as Parent Board Rep for the 2024-2025 school year, and looks forward to continuing to serve the school community with dedication.
