Maile School Star Talent: Brianna Rodammer

 

Meet Maile School star graduate Brianna Rodammer. She is in 1st grade at Avalon Elementary School and in the gifted program.  Brianna loves to read and is an amazing athlete, she is currently on the Stonecrabs swim team and finished 2nd place overall in the 8U division at her last meet.

Some of her modeling and acting industry work includes The Orlando Science Center, two print jobs for Disney, Best Way, a web series, two short films, a lead in a TV pilot, and two theatre productions.

Brianna recently saw her first national commercial for Disney titled “The First Time I Glowed”. She was so excited as it is airing now on the Disney channel and Disney Jr.   

Mom Maria says, “I just wanted to send a BIG thank you to all of you at The Maile School and specially Mrs. Debby Tapia.  Last summer I had a little girl so introverted that she was afraid to even say hi.  We decided to enroll her in your acting program in hopes that she could open up a little bit.  She had just turned 6 years old and had a hard time making friends, speaking to anyone that wasn’t mommy or daddy.  Most of the time she played alone or just read her books.  Mrs Debby saw something in her and encouraged us to get her involved in the industry.  She immediately fell in love with acting and modeling. While we are thrilled at her success and can’t thank you guys enough, it’s the confident, strong, bright star she has become that makes us the most proud!” 

Brianna enjoys playing with her brother Braxton (who is also a Maile School acting graduate), putting on productions for her family, playing baseball, piano and singing.
