Brandi Augenstein, Career Counseling Coordinator
Hello BOUSD Students, Families, and Stakeholders
My name is Brandi Augenstein and I'm the Career & Counseling Coordinator for Brea Olinda Unified School District. My job is to support the Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways in our district in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade and support our school counselors as they support students. You might see me around BOHS and BJHS for events like back to school, open house, or parent/student information nights. My background is school counseling so I love interacting with students, parents, and our community. I'm located in the front office so feel free to drop by if you have any questions, want more information about our programs, have a great idea for our programs, or just want to say hello.
