ABOUT ME

I have been an educator for over 18 years, teaching a variety of subjects and creating new courses from scratch. My student-focused approach and knowledge of learning design principles enable me to create individualized instruction and use assessment data to fill in any skill gaps.


Individualized Worksheets

This was a worksheet I created to help a student identify and play F sharp correctly. The smaller piece is a cheat sheet designed to be kept on his music stand for quick reference

Digital Tools for Assessment and Review

This is a crossword I created for reviewing musical terms. Interactive review/testing materials can increase student engagement and information retention. It was created using H5P and can be embedded into any site or linked to an LMS.

PHILOSOPHY

Brandi believes photos are metaphors, making the abstract concrete and mystifying the mundane. They believe photography is a conversation between the photographer, the subject, and those who will view these images for years to come. Brandi relishes in adding to the archive of humanity.

“As a child, I’d pour over family photo albums, admiring the portraits. Now, I get to add to our collective albums, our collective memories.”
