Prominent among her accomplishments is her work as adviser of Zeta Cordia, which she began in 1956 after the death of her husband, Walter Robrock. Of the fifteen yearbooks she has advised, thirteen have received All-American ratings, and she is widely known as a yearbook workshop instructor. As adviser of Mask and Sandal Dramatics Club, she has also brought to BHS an array of ten trophies for regional play competition.
