Brianna Powvens graduated from Bay Port High School in Green Bay WI and earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a Math Education major and Sociology minor from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. Mrs. Powvens taught math in Janesville WI upon graduation and has held administrative assistant positions in the fields of real estate, construction and the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health. She now takes pride as a household manager or stay-at-home-mom since 2014. Brianna has had the pleasure of volunteering as the PTA Board representative, preparing manipulatives for the math and reading programs at Elementary and the Middle School’s Music in the Park event. Outside of the district she volunteers at Bernie’s Book Bank.
Initially, Mrs. Powvens ran for the Board of Education with a “why not me” mindset. She ran for re-election after “finally feeling comfortable with her role as a Board member and wanted to continue being a voice for our community and increase community engagement.” As a former teacher, she is able to look at issues from a teachers perspective as well as from a parent perspective since she has two children attending Woodland. Many life experiences have taught Brianna that hard work is necessary to live and thrive and she takes her position as a Board member very seriously putting in the work required to ask questions and understand issues from various perspectives of those working in and attending Woodland. Mrs. Powvens is passionate about transparency to the community, community engagement and adding a student voice to the Board of Education.
