Brandi Kraft



Hi!  I am Success Coach Brandi Kraft. I moved around a lot growing up but went to college at the University of North Dakota where I earned my Bachelor and Master of Science in Mathematics.  I married my high school sweetheart, started a family, and have lived in Colorado Springs since 2003.  While new to the Academic Resource Division, I have taught college math for PPSC since 2010.  I hope to use my knowledge of the struggles that students face in college mathematics as a catalyst to facilitate conversations and advice. As a proud mother of three children, my oldest son in graduate school, daughter in college, and youngest son in high school, I understand the importance of succeeding at college. I look forward to helping you succeed in college by guiding you through all the requirements, resources, and services available at PPSC.
