About Me
My name is Amanda Armelin, and I am honored to serve as the new CYS worker for Banuelos Elementary School and Victoria Walker Elementary School. With over 10 years of dedicated experience in social service, I have had the privilege of working alongside families, communities, and at-risk youth to help foster positive change and create supportive environments. Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by underserved populations, and I have committed myself to providing compassionate, individualized care that empowers individuals and families to thrive.
