Brandi Cronen

Brandi Leigh is a poet and graduate student pursuing a Master of Science in Psychology. Hailing from small towns all over Oregon, she draws inspiration from the intersections of psychology and the human experience. Brandi discovered her passion for writing at an early age and has since crafted a unique poetic style that re!ects the complexities of life, love, and self-discovery. Influenced by the works of SylviaPlath and guided by her studies in psychology, Brandi’s poetry weaves intricate narratives that explore the depths of human emotions. Her debut collection, “Ink & Embers,” invites readers into a world where vulnerability is a source of strength, and darkness is met with resilience. Beyond her literary pursuits, Brandi enjoys writing, psychology, social work, and spending time with all her dogs. She is an alumnus of Bellevue University and the University of Oregon.
