I am Christyn Levy and this is my ninth year working as a the full-time school social worker at Robinson High School. I attended the University of Tampa and received a Bachelor’s in Psychology and completed my Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Washington. In 2019 I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia. Prior to working in the schools, I worked with children and young adults in emergency shelter programs and short term residential programs for homeless and foster care teens and young adults, domestic violence programs, and other emergency service programs. Our family relocated from Seattle to Northern Virginia in 2010 to be closer to family. As a family we enjoy traveling, playing board games and being outside. I look forward to being a resource to the Robinson community.

I am De'Stanye Swittenberg and I am the new part-time social worker at Robinson High School. I attended George Mason University where I received a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Social Work. Prior to joining FCPS, I worked as an Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapist where I directly worked with children and adults with autism to practice skills and work toward their individual goals. I also worked as a Qualified Mental Health Professional where I provided collaborative mental health services for adults and children. In my free time, I like to spend time with family and friends and binge watch my favorite TV shows. I am excited for a great year at Robinson!
