Hi! My name is Amber Ykimoff, and I’m so excited to be part of the Roberto Clemente Learning Academy school community. I am a licensed clinical social worker, and I earned my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Social Work degrees from The University of Michigan (Go Blue!).
 I’ve been a social worker for about ten years, with the last six spent as a school social worker. I also have experience as a child/adolescent mental health therapist, which has helped me support students and families in many different ways. I have advanced training in trauma and trauma-informed practices and believe in creating a school where every child and family feels safe, supported, and able to grow. My goal is to partner with you to help students feel their best so they can learn and succeed.
Outside of school, I’m a proud mom to one daughter. I love Fall, Halloween, listening to podcasts, spending time with my family, and cheering on Michigan and Lions football. I'm looking forward to another wonderful year!
