Brandi

Administrative Manager

Introducing Brandi, the compassionate force behind the scenes at Turning Tides. As a devoted wife to her amazing husband, David, mother to her four amazing children, two daughters and two sons, and a proud grandparent affectionately known as “Nani” to a sweet little girl, Brandi deeply understands the significance of family, love, and unwavering support.

Brandi’s connection with Turning Tides runs deep, as she is the daughter of Debbie and Bill Hutchinson and has been immersed in the Turning Tides community since its inception. Skillfully managing various administrative tasks, she ensures that day-to-day operations run seamlessly, providing a welcoming and efficient environment.

In her free time, Brandi engages in diverse crafting projects and has even ventured into creating a side business called Juxtaphoria with her best friend, Jordan. This meaningful endeavor focuses on mental health awareness and is centered around a t-shirt shop. Their goal is to contribute to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage individuals who may be apprehensive about seeking help to take that brave step.

Alongside her craft endeavors and running the business, Brandi finds immense joy in spending quality time with loved ones during family vacations and attending live music events. These experiences allow her to create and cherish precious memories with those dear to her heart.

Beyond her personal interests, Brandi’s compassionate nature draws her towards giving back to the community. She volunteers her time and energy as a counselor for Crisis Text Line, offering support and a listening ear to those in need. Additionally, she loves contributing to Meals on Wheels, delivering nourishing meals to improve the lives of individuals within the community when she can. Through her involvement in these acts of kindness and her mental health advocacy, Brandi aims to make a positive impact that reaches far and wide.

Fueled by her unwavering dedication to serving others, Brandi warmly welcomes anyone who walks through the doors of Turning Tides. Excited to be part of a profoundly impactful organization, she eagerly anticipates the future and knows that Turning Tides will continue transforming lives.
