Brandi has proven to be an invaluable resource to myself and our firm as a whole as it pertains to connecting with students and faculty on campus. As a business partner of the Boler College of Business and through our relationship with Brandi and her team we have been able to establish a solid pipeline of students for both our internship and career programs. She is readily accessible and also serves a champion of Skylight on our behalf, telling our story and validating our strong alumni history.

Sylvia Marrero, MS, NCC

Brandi is a multi-talented, creative, and dynamic professional and colleague; it's a pleasure working with her. In her current role, she has come up with innovative ideas to strategically enhance the student experience and is genuinely student-centered. As a colleague, she is highly collaborative, supportive, and warm with an ability to make everyone around her feel comfortable. She is always the first one to recognize others’ achievements and accomplishments and deserves to be recognized for her own. Brandi's stand out characteristics are her engaging communication skills and ability to present her ideas effectively to create buy-in from others. She is a quintessential leader who is powerfully effective yet still kind, approachable and down to earth.
