Robin B BE1017 INDIA
Operations Manager
Hi, I'm Robin from Texas (don't let that scare you!). I'm excited about the next two years here in Bangalore with IBM and am looking forward to making some new friends! I love all kinds of music, would kill for a good margarita and some chips and salsa and approach life and new experiences as a fun adventure! I enjoy reading and wouldn't mind finding a local travel and/or shopping partner. I enjoy going out on the weekends and painting the town red, but am equally happy reading a book or sharing a conversation at the local Barrista!
