Music, Theatre, Early Elementary

Brianna is so excited to back teaching at Civic for another season! Currently Brianna teaches Elementary General Music at Jenison Public Schools and also directs the Jr. High Musical for 7th and 8th graders. She earned her bachelors degree in Music Education from Western Michigan University in 2019 and her masters degree in Educational Leadership at Grand Valley State University in 2026. Brianna and her husband Riley just welcomed their son Carson in June. They love to spend time at their family cottage and travel to their favorite place, Walt Disney World! Brianna loves working at Civic and is excited to create a positive experience for her students and hopefully develop a love for the magic of theater.

My student’s passion and talent inspires me to be creative and help them build upon their theatrical skills.
