Mr. Adames serves as the Dean of College and Career Readiness at Nowell Academy, where he is deeply committed to advancing postsecondary success for all students. With a strong foundation in both school counseling and corporate finance, Robinson brings a unique perspective to his work—one that blends data-driven strategy with student-centered support.

Before joining Nowell, Robinson worked as a School Counselor at Highlander Charter School, where he led impactful programming in college access, scholarship acquisition, and career readiness, while managing a caseload of over 120 students. His earlier career as a Financial Analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston sharpened his skills in strategic planning, budgeting, and stakeholder engagement.

As a bilingual, first-generation college graduate, Robinson is passionate about educational equity and building inclusive pathways to success. He holds a Master of Education in School Counseling from Providence College and a Bachelor of Science in Finance and Entrepreneurship from Northeastern University. He is also certified in Rhode Island as a K–12 School Counselor and PK–12 School Business Administrator.

Outside of school, Robinson enjoys spending time with his wife, two kids and mini golden-doodle. He is an active men's ministry leader in his church community and is passionate about servant leadership. He finds joy in mentorship, music, and discovering ways to make a meaningful impact in students’ lives; both inside and outside the classroom.
