Ms. Brandt earned her Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies Multidisciplinary, Secondary Education, with a concentration in mathematics, and received her single subject math credential from Biola University. Her passion for junior high began in high school when she followed the Lord’s calling to step into junior high ministry. She leaned into His call by serving for two summers at Hume Lake Christian Camp, which quickly became her second home. Ms. Brandt joined the CVCS team in 2021 and teaches junior high math and junior high and high school yearbook.

Ms. Brandt loves serving and supporting students in and outside the classroom, and she has a passion for raising students to become confident in their math abilities. She believes that education is a means by which we glorify and honor God with our minds. Along with junior high students and math, Mackenzie also has a passion for creating. You will almost always find her creating new designs and hand-lettering in her free time. She is overwhelmed by God’s faithfulness, and her prayer and hope is that every student feels at home the moment they step foot in her class.
