===Early Life===

Growing up on the “old frontier” world of [[Theta VII]], Robin always felt like she had ‘the best of both worlds’ in her reach. New discoveries were still being made and visitors from exciting new civilizations still traveled through the ports of Theta with regularity – yet, as an established colony, they also boasted the developed infrastructure, technology, and resources that characterized life in The Federation.

<!-- One of her first 'solo projects' was programming herself a holo-cat - a mackerel tabby whom she named ''Malone'' after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's intrepid reporter character, Ned Malone. She's had him ever since, bringing his program with her aboard the USS Wall Street and, later, to Amity Outpost. -->

===Education===

To continue her studies, following her newly-developed interest in STEM subjects, Robin traveled to Earth for better educational prospects. While she found being far from home challenging for the first year, she quickly grew to appreciate the opportunities that studying - and living - on Earth afforded. She completed her undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, then went on to complete her masters in Physics at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco.

After six years studying physics in California, it was hard to ignore the call of Starfleet. She applied for the Academy on a whim, submitting an application to complete her PhD studies that she never expected to be accepted. According to Hopper's own account, she submitted her Academy Application on a dare after drinking eight shots of tequila while celebrating the completion of her Master's thesis<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/7h1iv4s_yjs/m/UwD8npq_AgAJ Lt. Robin Hopper: The Best Decision] (240004.28)</ref>. Much to her surprise, she was accepted. As a Starfleet Cadet, she earned her doctorate in four years and was able to further expand her knowledge of programming through a few elective Engineering courses. This time at the Academy also allowed her to round out her Scientific knowledge, attaining a wider set of skills that would make her a formidable Science Officer upon graduation. As a result of her exceptional studies, Robin graduated Starfleet Academy with the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.

===Starfleet===

When news of [[Amity Outpost]]’s establishment in the Delta Quadrant reached Robin’s ears, she felt immediately drawn to the distant and exciting deep space station. Already used to an extended mission far from home, the prospect of traveling months away from Federation space seemed totally worth it in exchange for an opportunity to work in such an advanced and resourced Science and Research Center – not to mention the chance to meet denizens of the Delta Quadrant. She had also long been intrigued by the story of Voyager, following it closely as a child<ref name=":4" />, which only enhanced the draw of the new Outpost.
