Brandy brings 22 years of experience in education to ACC Academy, including two decades serving the Auburn City Schools community. She has held a variety of roles, including special education teacher, K–3 classroom teacher, and intervention specialist supporting students with academic and behavioral needs. Brandy holds advanced training in literacy instruction and is LETRS-certified, equipping her to support both students and educators with evidence-based reading practices. She is passionate about uncovering the unique strengths of every student and believes in the power of personalized, multisensory learning to promote growth, confidence, and lasting success.

During the 2024–2025 school year at ACC Academy, Brandy wore many hats to meet the needs of a growing school, teaching Exploration, leading intervention groups, supporting Kindergarten, and stepping into Second Grade during a maternity leave. Whether in the classroom or behind the scenes, she did whatever was needed to put students and teachers first. Her deep love for students, her desire to serve teachers, and her commitment to excellence have made her a trusted leader among both staff and families. Now stepping into her role as Director, Brandy is committed to lead with humility, passion, and a heart for service.

Brandy holds both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Collaborative Education from Auburn University and is certified as a K–12 educator. She and her husband, Brian, have been married nearly 20 years and share a deep love for education and missions, both with children in Auburn and in Nicaragua, where they partner with a church ministry that also values spiritual formation and early childhood education. Their family is deeply rooted in Auburn Community Church, a place that has transformed their lives and shaped their walk with Jesus. Saying “yes” to the calling of ACC Academy required surrender and trust in ways they never expected, and it continues to strengthen their faith as they walk forward in obedience. They have two children: Annabelle, a freshman at the University of Alabama, and Matson, a rising second grader at ACC Academy.

Brandy is humbled and expectant as she steps into a role she never imagined, but fully embraces, as a response to God’s unmistakable calling. Her vision is to cultivate a school culture where students are deeply known, faith is actively lived, and every classroom reflects the truth that people matter more than performance. She is honored to lead in a place where the love of Christ is central, and the call to disciple the next generation is carried out with both courage and joy.
