Robyn Farrington BSN, RN, is a second-year Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) student at Georgia State University. Her healthcare journey began as a nurse extern in inpatient psychiatry, where she helped care for both children and adults and developed a passion for understanding the complexities of mental health. She went on to work as a mental health technician with adult patients, an experience that deepened her empathy and commitment to providing compassionate care.
Since becoming a registered nurse, Farrington continued to work in inpatient psychiatry with adult and geriatric populations, including on a partial medical-psychiatry unit serving patients with co-occurring medical and psychiatric needs. She also has experience as a nurse navigator, helping psychiatric patients maneuver through complex medical systems.
Farrington earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Florida A&M University (FAMU), an experience that strengthened her confidence, cultural identity, and commitment to service. During her time at FAMU, she learned the importance of representation in healthcare. Her foundation at a historically Black university (HBCU), continues to influence her work in healthcare by fueling her dedication to advancing inclusivity in mental health care and responsibility to serve communities with empathy and cultural sensitivity.
Farrington is an active member of the American Nurses Association, the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, and Postpartum Support International (PSI), including PSI’s People of Color Support Alliance in Georgia. Her professional interests include reproductive psychiatry, trauma-informed care, and advocacy for communities with unmet mental health care needs.
