Brianna is a native Jamestownian, born and raised from preschool through college. She graduated from the University of Jamestown with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and currently serves as a Grammar School Teacher and Curriculum Director at CCCS. She loves the richness of a classical Christian education: how it recognizes the world and the fullness thereof as belonging to God, and humanity as His invited agents and ambassadors within it. What a joy! It is deeply rooted in all things foundational to Western civilization, and she finds it fascinating to dig deeper into those things. Where we’ve come from shapes where we’re going, and a wisely executed understanding of the good, the true, and the beautiful is what magnificent cultures are built upon. Brianna loves reading! Books, magazines, poems (that rhyme), obituaries, short stories, cookbooks, history, science, the Bible, you name it! She loves many books so it is nearly impossible to choose a favorite. She hopes to read more of the Great Books as time goes on, but for now, some notable mentions of books that have impacted her throughout her life are 'Number the Stars,' 'Anne of Green Gables,' 'A Christmas Carol,' 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' 'Frankenstein,' 'Gentle and Lowly,' and, more recently, an absolutely delightful short story called “The Ransom of Red Chief.” She also enjoys the idyllic poetry of Edgar Guest, of which her favorite is entitled “Picture Books.”
