Welcome Our New Staff - Amanda & Elisabeth
At Robyne’s Nest, we know that the heart of our mission lies in the people who dedicate themselves to serving our students and community. This fall, we are thrilled to welcome two new staff members whose skills, passion, and compassion will help us continue Breaking Cycles & Changing Lives.
💙 Meet Elisabeth Valenzuela – Mental Health & Wellness Coordinator
Elisabeth joined our Student Care team this spring and quickly became an integral part of helping students find stability and wellness. As our Mental Health & Wellness Coordinator, she brings both compassion and accountability to guide students on their path to self-sufficiency.
Currently pursuing her Master’s Degree in Social Work, Elisabeth’s ultimate goal is to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She is passionate about advocating for people who are often overlooked or underserved and believes deeply in the power of kindness, connection, and showing up when others need it most. Her vision and dedication align beautifully with the mission of Robyne’s Nest.
🌟 Meet Amanda Schoon – Office Staff
Amanda has joined our office team to help keep the front office and pantry running smoothly—an especially important role as we head into our busy season.
A Huntington Beach resident, Amanda is currently pursuing her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. With a strong passion for supporting children and teens, her long-term goal is to open a private practice where she can empower individuals and families through therapy, creating safe spaces for growth and healing. She looks forward to contributing at different levels within Robyne’s Nest and bringing her heart for service to our students.
We are so grateful to have Amanda and Elisabeth on board. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome as they begin their journey with Robyne’s Nest!
