My name is Brandy Wambold. I am a native to Lapeer, having grown up in Metamora. My husband, Rob, and I reside in North Branch with our two sons, Carter and Spencer. After graduating from Lapeer West High School, I ventured off to the beautiful city of East Lansing. I graduated from Michigan State University with a business degree and soon entered the work force. It didn't take me long before I knew that I was not following the path that suited me best. That's when I decided to persue an education degree at the University of Michigan-Flint . Never mind you, I had been drilled to hate maize and blue for many years! I instantly loved my new school. I graduated in 2006. I have a current secondary education certificate with focus in history and science. I enjoy spending time with my family and playing outdoors with them. We love to spend time at our cottage in Port Austin as well discovering new places to visit in our beautiful state of Michigan.
