Brandy was born and raised in Brantley County, with roots across Brunswick and the Golden Isles. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Armstrong Atlantic State University and worked as a Registered Nurse on the Medical-Surgical floor at Southeast Georgia Health System. Next, she received her Master’s in Nursing Education from Georgia Southwestern University and spent 9 years teaching nursing at the College of Coastal Georgia. Most recently, she earned a second Master’s degree in nursing from Georgia Southern University and certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
When asked why she became a nurse practitioner, Brandy replied: “I want to offer education, quality health care management, and kindness to patients. Primary care presents an opportunity to impact changes which reduce morbidity and improve overall quality of life.”
Outside of work, Brandy enjoys spending time with her husband Chris and two girls, Ansley Kate and Baylee Shea. The girls keep her busy…so her hobbies include playing Barbie, dressing up, reading the Wonky Donkey, and swimming in her pool.
