Coffee with a Geek Interview with Bryna Moritz
Channel: Andrew Wheelock
Date: 2021-09-27

Bryna Moritz is a young and energetic Superintendent at Pine Valley Central School, in Western New York.  A rural district, Bryna was a year into her superintendency when the Covid Pandemic hit.  I ask Bryna about her vision of leadership during that trying time and moving forward into the future.  A little about Bryna's background:  After starting her education in Law, she soon discovered a passion for teaching.  She received her Bachelors degree at SUNY Fredonia.  She then got her first teaching job as a 4th Grade Teacher at Sherman Central School.  She went on to have several positions at Sherman ending with the K12 Principal.   She is now in her 3rd year as Superintendent at Pine Valley.  She has completed a circle from Kindergarten student  to Superintendent at Pine Valley.  

Her Mother, Kim Moritz is also a superintendent and past guest on the Coffee with a Geek show.  (She was my second interview!). See interview from 2012
