Robin Hazelwood was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1971?).A competitive swimmer for much of her childhood, Robin set state records and won regional championships, ultimately qualifying for the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Trials in the 100m Breaststroke.

Robin started modeling her sophomore year of high school, first locally, then regionally. In the fall of 1988, Robin gained representation with a New York agency, the same period she entered the freshman class of Yale University. After graduation (BA, English, 1992), Robin modeled in Paris, Milan, Sydney and, most frequently, New York, where she was represented by Ice, Women, IMG, Next and Karins. Clients Robin has worked for include: Amica, Bergdorf Goodman, Vera Wang, Glamour, Oil of Olay, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Self, Allure, Wella, Brooks Brothers, New York Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Liz Claiborne, Country Road, Australian Vogue, Redbook, McCalls, Ballys Fitness and LOreal.

In 1998, after more than 13 years in the business, Robin quit modeling to attend the full time program at New York Universitys Stern School of Business. Upon completion of her MBA (Finance, 1999), Robin spent three years at LinkShare, an online marketing company, rising to the Senior Director of Marketing before leaving to pursue writing. In 2005, Robin sold the North American rights of Model Student to Crown Publishing.
