Brandi is proud to be born and raised in the Reno/Sparks Area graduating from Edward C. Reed High School and the University of Nevada with a degree in Journalism and minor in Psychology. She started her career in advertising on the agency side of the business in 1998 and has worked on behalf of clients in the Health Care, Technology, Education, Arts, Real Estate Development, Travel & Tourism, Public Health, and Automotive industries. In 2017, she and her business partner started a performance marketing and media agency, concentrating on return on investment, attribution and analytics for complex multi-media campaigns in higher education, public health, automotive and real estate development. She and her husband, also a native of northern Nevada and retired Reno Fire Operator, are the parents of two teenage sons that they chase around enjoying baseball, football, hockey and whatever new endeavors the boys are interested in. Her family is deeply invested in NNCCF and grateful for all of the support it extends to families of pediatric cancer patients and survivors. She knows this better than most because her oldest son was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) in 2010. She was inspired by the work NNCCF did for families that were in all stages of their cancer journey and connected with other families that have gone through and are currently battling their children’s own pediatric cancer. Making a difference, no matter how large or small, in the lives of families fighting for their children is deeply personal to Brandi and she is excited to lend any help and resources she can to the NNCCF mission in northern Nevada.
