Welcome to Casimir Pulaski High School, Mrs. Brandy Williams
All About Mrs.Williams
Mrs.Williams, a fresh face at Pulaski High School, has quickly become a part of our community. In her short time here, she has been dedicated to building personal connections with our students, a factor that has greatly enriched her experience. She is also an active member of the Pulaski Coffee Club, a student-led organization that promotes social interaction and community building, further fostering a sense of belonging.
“I am excited about being your new College and Career Center (CACC) Advisor. As your advisor, I will be providing guidance on college and career planning, assisting with college applications and financial aid, and organizing career exploration events. My name is Brandy Williams, but please call me Ms. Brandy! After working for seven years at UWM with the Upward Bound Math & Science program, I joined the Pulaski High School team, where I served as the academic advisor.”
Williams added.
Williams moved to Milwaukee from Rockford, Illinois, in 2010 to further her education. In 2011, she began working as an associate advisor for the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare, where she gained valuable experience in advising students. From there, she moved on to the School of Education, where she served as an advisor and was a member of their recruitment team. She graduated from UWM in 2013 with her Bachelor’s in English and in 2016 with my Master’s in Administrative Leadership. Her educational background and extensive experience in advising and recruitment have equipped her with the knowledge and skills to support students in their college and career journeys.
“I am thrilled to be your new College and Career Center (CACC) Advisor. My name is Brandy Williams, but please call me Ms. Brandy! After working for seven years at UWM with the Upward Bound Math & Science program, I joined the Pulaski High School team, where I served as the academic advisor. I am an avid reader and an obsessive fan of Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings. I often refer to myself as a unicorn, not because I have a horn growing out of my head, but because I always look for rainbows in clouds. I believe there is inspiration all around us, and I am always searching for the silver lining. I hope to bring this positive outlook and enthusiasm to my role as the College and Career Center (CACC) Advisor, inspiring and motivating each of you in your college and career journeys.”
Williams noted.
“I see my role in the CACC, located on the second floor of the main building, as a coach and a mentor to provide all students with the resources and support they need to build a successful future. The CACC offers a wide range of services, including assistance with college applications, financial aid, scholarship applications, writing resumes, and career exploration. The center will also provide educational workshops to help students with college and career readiness. Students are encouraged to stop by as needed or schedule an individual advising session. My office hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 4:00 pm during the school year. Feel free to reach out if you need help,”
Williams emphasized.
Student Accounts At Educators Credit Union
Today, April, a member support specialist at Educators Credit Union, shared how simple and empowering it is for students to open an account with them.
“They offer a variety of options to facilitate the creation of savings and checking accounts, making financial management a breeze for our students. All a student needs to sign up for an account is an ID or proof of address; if a student doesn’t have this, they can have a parent approve this account. Opening a savings account requires a minimum of 25 dollars and a 5-dollar refundable deposit to activate. Opening a checking account is just as straightforward as activating this account with only 20 dollars.”
