I joined DTS in the winter of 2022! I received my Teaching license from Upper Iowa University. I have a teaching endorsement in Special Education Mild/Moderate, Learning Disabilities, and Behavior Disorders. I also have a Reading Endorsement. Although this is my first year as a Sped teacher, I have three years of experience in the classroom as an associate in Norwalk. I love working with children and have five children of my own. A couple of quick, interesting tidbits about me is I love donuts, playing board/card games, and my favorite color is yellow. While living in Wyoming, I raised backyard chickens, two lambs for a 4H project, and two California rabbits with my children.

My name is Brianna Marvin and I am a Special Education Teacher at the Downtown School. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in December of 2018. I received a Bachelors in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education, Strategist 1. Although I am a Panther, I am also a Hawkeye and Cowboys fan! I am a Des Moines Native, from Adel and currently reside in Johnston with my boyfriend Kurtis. I love all things purple, being outside and being with family. I am so excited to work with the students, parents and faculty of the Downtown School community.
