meaningful conversations around career aspirations and
personal development to take place.
What is Jump Club?Jump Club celebrates the decision
to chase a passion through meaningful connection to others, educational programming, and inspirational speakers and performers. |
Why Boston?The jump that would eventually lead to When to Jump was born in Boston. Our first conversations came from this city, and many of the jumpers at this festival have inspired our global community from the very start. As we roll into our third annual Jump Club, it felt right to be coming home to Boston.

CEO // Penn Foster
As a purpose-driven CEO, I’m passionate about education and its power to transform lives. I believe that every adult should have the chance to realize their full potential, and new models of upskilling are fundamental ingredients in making that happen. Over the last seven years, I’ve been fortunate enough to lead an organization called Penn Foster, an education institution and upskilling platform helping over 150,000 adult learners and opportunity youth each year to launch, accelerate and thrive in their careers. Prior to joining Penn Foster, I served as Operating Partner at Bain Capital Ventures and was CEO of Pri-Med, a leading medical education training company for primary care physicians. |

Hi, I’m Robin. World Traveler. Wanderluster. Aunt Extraordinaire. Yogi. Thoughtful Thinker. Wildhearted Soul. Nomad. I am breaking the mold on what it means to live a conventional life and setting off into the unknown. I know firsthand what it's like to be trapped in your circumstances and afraid to take that first step into Action. I've spent many years studying and participating in transformational work through Landmark Worldwide, Meditation Retreats, Yoga Teacher Training (to name a few), and continue to push myself to my edge. I left my corporate career of 11 years in Marketing & PR in May and haven't looked back once.
