    After working in corporate finance, Brandon seized the opportunity to join the Teach for America program and teach Math in underserved schools for three years. He spent his first year teaching in the Mississippi Delta, leading a group of Algebra students to the highest test scores in the district, and his last two years in Indianapolis. Brandon attended a High School similar to Regents that had a profound impact on his worldview growing up. So, in many ways, he feels like he has returned home after a long journey. This is his ninth year teaching at Regents (Computer Science and Math). Almost every evening, you can find Brandon at home either playing or recording Bluegrass music on his mandolin.

    Sarah grew up in Colorado where the purple mountain majesty takes your breath away daily. After attending a Christian liberal arts university in Oklahoma, she returned to Colorado to work as a high school French teacher. In 2003, Sarah married her best friend, Rob, and they began their journey of life together which has now included welcoming four beautiful daughters. Sarah was blessed to attend graduate school through New York University in Paris before her girls came along. Sarah began her relationship with the French language in a middle school language exploration class, continued to learn the language basics throughout high school, and went on to pursue acquisition as a French major in college, including a semester of studying in the south of France. The missions trips to France and Haiti opened Sarah's eyes and heart to the Francophone people in ways a classroom never could. Not only does Sarah's love for the language drive her instruction, but also her heart for communicating the love of God with those who speak French.

    When she's not teaching, Sarah loves to bake delicious desserts. Sarah also enjoys cooking healthy food (probably to bring balance considering the yummy sweets she makes). Time spent creating in the kitchen is one of Sarah's favorite things to share with her daughters.
