Robyn Ball graduated from TAMUCC in 2008 with a MS in Mathematics. Her master's thesis was based on her work at the Division of Nearshore Research, part of which was developing a real-time model to predict water temperatures in the Laguna Madre.

She is currently a doctoral student at Texas A&M in Statistics.
