Seattle Public Schools

(She/her) This is my first year in Seattle Public Schools and this year will be my 10th year teaching multilingual learners. I am grateful for the relationships I get to build with staff, students, and their families.

I’m thrilled to join Mr. D and Ms. Trisha as the new instructional assistant, after having previously worked here as contracted ABA support. With experience in fields like behavioral therapy and assisted living, I’ve unexpectedly found a home in the Distinct classroom at Viewlands. As much as I adored my two-on-one case, some of my favorite days were spent with the educational team and getting to know the rest of our students. I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones as we work together to empower our students and support their growth.

Brandon is thrilled to join the Viewlands Elementary community, bringing over two decades of experience in early childhood education, primarily in preschool through 2nd grade. With a deep commitment to nurturing young minds, Brandon is passionate about fulfilling the school's mission to ensure every student is known, valued, and empowered. Beyond the classroom, he is a doctoral candidate at the University of Wyoming, where his research focuses on implementing democratic practices in elementary schools. Brandon is eager to contribute his expertise and enthusiasm to foster a thriving and inclusive learning environment at Viewlands Elementary.
