Other Interests: Snuggling and cavorting with her rat terrier, Annie; reading way too much for her own good; catching up on her Netflix queue; Zumba, where Brandi falsely imagines she is a sex goddess; arts and social justice, particularly prison arts programs (former thesis topic); potty humor; cheese; telling stories.

Fun Fact: The hedgehog is Brandi's spirit animal.
