¡Saludos! My name is Brandon Norris. I’m a Spanish teacher at Short Pump Middle School in Richmond, Virginia. I’m thrilled to be returning for my sixth year working at the Spanish academy. I am fascinated by all languages and developed my passion for them when I attended the academy myself back in 2011, as it was a truly unforgettable experience. As director, I hope to impart this same level of excitement for language to the students. In my free time I enjoy sipping coffee while chatting with friends or reading in a foreign language. I also love doing adventurous activities like rock climbing, white water rafting, and kayaking.
