Brianna Ortiz, M. Ed

Hello, Grizzlies!

I’m so excited to be serving as both a School Counselor and Cheer Advisor at Golden Valley High School—a place that will always feel like home. As a proud Golden Valley alumna, I spent four years as a cheerleader and served as Yearbook Editor, experiences that sparked my passion for student leadership, school spirit, and building meaningful connections.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego and my Master of Education in School Counseling from the University of Southern California. Every day, I have the privilege of supporting students as they navigate high school, explore their goals, and prepare for bright futures after graduation.

One of the most rewarding parts of my career is giving back to the school that helped shape who I am. Whether I'm meeting with students, cheering on our Grizzlies at games, or helping create memorable school experiences, I strive to make Golden Valley a place where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to succeed.

When I'm not on campus, you'll usually find me spending time with my energetic toddler, exploring new adventures with my family, or enjoying a good book. I look forward to partnering with our students and families to make every school year a great one. Go Grizzlies!
