Hi everyone! I have been working as a Success Counselor since April 2013 and I love working with our Ecampus students! Prior to transitioning into this role, I was an Ecampus advisor for students in our Human Development and Family Sciences program. I grew up in a small town in southern Oregon and moved to the Willamette Valley about 10 years ago. I initially earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Western Oregon University and went on to earn a Master’s degree in Human Development and Family Sciences from right here at OSU. My favorite experience while working at Oregon State Ecampus has been meeting our graduates in person at our annual Ecampus Commencement Reception after countless phone calls and email conversations. It’s a special trip to Corvallis for many individuals, and I love that I get to be a part of it! Outside of work, I love attending OSU football games with my husband and parents, reading, playing with my goofy pup, “Hank” and even occasionally trying my hand at something “crafty.”

Brandi’s tip of the week – “Plan ahead! Setting weekly goals and utilizing a strategy to organize your time will help you stay on track and help avoid that pesky tendency to procrastinate. OSU’s Learning Corner has a variety worksheets and academic calendars that you can access for free!

Happy studying and GO BEAVS!
