Bio

My name is Kikelomomi Olayinka-Yusuf, or Kiké, and I am a full-time high school counselor, a graduate student in the School and Mental Health Counseling program, and a graduate assistant at the McGraw Center. Previously, I worked for three years as a social worker, engaging families and children to ensure stability in their homes. My transition from social work to counseling was a natural progression, motivated by a passion for trauma-informed care and expanding access to services like counseling. I also volunteer weekly at a local church youth group and teach English as a second language. In my free time, I enjoy walking, reading, and curating active games.
