Brandie is attending college and has a long-term goal of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to help others navigate the challenges she has faced in her own life. As a former foster youth, she has learned how to persevere through stress and uncertainty. She enjoys attending Guardian Scholar events when she is not focused on school, and her schedule allows. She also loves dancing, cooking, and creating art. Dancing is her favorite form of exercise, while art, through beadwork, crocheting, painting, and writing poetry, has become a crucial outlet for managing stress and expressing herself. Cooking, though once a joyful hobby, has become difficult to keep up with due to school, work, and family demands.
