Brandy has been providing Care Coordination services since 2007. While she completed her schooling, Brandy was hired by People First of Alaska, Anchorage Chapter and worked as a mentor, providing assistance and guidance to the board and members to expand advocacy and disability awareness throughout the state.

When Brandy met her cousin who communicated with ASL after losing his hearing at a young age because of undiagnosed Scarlet Fever, her interest in deaf culture was piqued and spread into an appreciation for the many different ways people can be different and unique.

She graduated from University of Alaska Anchorage with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and an Associate’s degree in Human Services with an emphasis in Disabilities. She works with people with intellectual and development disabilities as well as those who experience mental illness and people with ISB.
