Background

About Brandy Bast

I am a career readiness and workforce development leader focused on bridging education and career pathways to enhance student success. With over 15 years of experience in both secondary and post-secondary education, I have refined my skills in teaching, coaching, and mentoring. I live by the mottos:"" and "," which inspired the creation of #. When my students thrive, I thrive. I'm deeply passionate about personal growth and committed to helping others uncover and develop their unique strengths, enabling them to reach their full potential and make a meaningful impact. Whether in secondary education, higher ed, workforce development, or hospitality, I'm all about making meaningful connections to advance student opportunity and increase career and social capital. Catch me binge-listening to a diverse range of podcasts and audiobooks. When I'm not cheering on my own kids or students at co-curricluar events, you'll find me buried in historical fiction and nonfiction, walking my dog, or sneaking in a power nap. 2w3 ENTJ SEC Relator, Includer, Developer, Belief, Context Influencing Growth Seeker, Orchestrater, Inspirer Understanding & Grace Blue Controller, Hyper Vigilant, Restless Advisor & Maven : Workforce and Professional Development, Mentoring, Teaching, Advising, Curriculum Writing, Workforce Development, Assessment & Evaluation, Project Management, Program Planning, Career Coaching, Leadership Development : Saying No, Working out consistently, Anxiety, and Parenting-do we really have any clue what we are doing as parents?'.
