From the time Brandt was in elementary school, she knew she wanted to be a nurse and care for people. “I remember getting the assignment in elementary school to draw a picture of what we wanted to be when we grew up, and I always drew a nurse,” Brandt said. “I kept that picture with me and looked at it often.”

Brandt was born and raised in Southwest Virginia and has a passion for caring for others. “I want to help my patients improve their quality of life,” said Brandt. “As a nurse practitioner, it’s important my patients know I care about them. My goal is to help them better understand their condition and work with them to meet their goals.”

Brandt obtained her Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner at Carson Newman College, (Jefferson City, TN) and her Bachelor of Nursing at King College, (Bristol, TN).

Brandt is a Gate City, VA Native and she enjoys cooking Italian meals, hiking, and tackling Pinterest projects. She also enjoys live music and is looking forward to being able to attend concerts again soon.
