“Robin brings a strong work ethic, common sense approach and a high level of professionalism,” said National Parks of Eastern North Carolina Superintendent David Hallac. “Her diverse experience managing complex and high-profile land management challenges will benefit the Outer Banks Group. I look forward to working with Robin again when she arrives on the Outer Banks in early July.”

“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve as the deputy superintendent of three dynamic park units that showcase the amazing history and resources of the Outer Banks,” said Snyder. “After spending many summer vacations in the area, I am excited to work with staff, community and partners who collectively care for these special places and to engage with local residents and visitors who value these resources.”

Snyder is a native of Appomattox, Virginia. She attended the University of Virginia, where she obtained a bachelor of arts in American history and a master of teaching.
