Hello. My name is Kirsten Brenna. I work in the Learning Center as one of the Learning Specialists. I enjoy working with children of various ages and capabilities helping them to reach their potential.

My specialization is in teaching students with learning differences. I support students in attaining a proficiency in math, reading, spelling and writing skills, as well as providing support in their overall studies. I am a Licensed Dyslexia Therapist and Certified Academic Language Therapist. My training is Orton-Gillingham based, and I am certified in the Scottish Rite Take Flight Dyslexia Curriculum since 2005. I have been privileged to work in the Learning Center for the past 12 years.

 

Michigan is my original home. Every summer I go back to enjoy the beautiful weather and the natural lakes. I came to Austin in the 80's to attend the University of Texas where I earned my BA in English. I am a mom of 2 daughters and 1 son. During my time off, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and golf. I am a proud Longhorn and especially love to attend the basketball games! Hook 'Em!
