Robin Wash graduated from TNCS in 1992. She received her degree in Interior Design from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2001. A past officer of the TNCS Alumni Association, Robin is one of the owners of Cold Harbor Antique Mall in Mechanicsville, Virginia. A desire to be self-employed, an inherited love for antiquing and the appreciation for art gained from her studies at VCU made opening the antique mall a perfect fit for her. Robin says that she loves interacting with the people who come into the mall each day and that she loves learning about treasures from all periods of history. She credits her success to her supportive parents, her hard work ethic and the organizational and learning skills she gained at New Community.
