Celebrating Our Staff - Amanda

Meet Amanda, whose academic excellence and deep care for teens are helping drive Robyne’s Nest’s mission forward.

Amanda holds a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Long Beach and a master’s in Counseling Psychology from UMass Global. As valedictorian and commencement speaker, she saw her role as more than a recognition—it was an opportunity to encourage her cohort to pursue meaningful work, serve others, and challenge unjust systems.

Today, Amanda applies those values directly in her work with high school students. Her clinical experience working primarily with teens confirmed what she already knew: supporting young people during pivotal years can change the trajectory of their lives.

“Standing on that stage wasn’t just about me—it was about lifting others up.”

We’re honored to have Amanda on our team and grateful for the way she helps foster stability, encouragement, and opportunity for the teens we serve.
