Prior to OSU, Brandt spent three seasons at Westcliff University in Irvine, California, designing and leading goalkeeper training sessions for the Warriors, helping guide the program to its first two appearances in the NAIA National Tournament.

Under Brandt’s direction, Westcliff keeper Kayli Cokley led all of NAIA in 2024 with a paltry 0.14 goals against average, ranking second nationally in save percentage at .938.

Under her guidance, Abraham Ramirez was named South Coast Conference Goalkeeper of the Year and MVP after posting 0.77 goals against average, leading his team to its first-ever Final Four Appearance. With the women's team, Jackie Garibay allowed an average of just 0.63 goals per game, also earning South Coast Conference Goalkeeper of the Year honors.

Before joining the college coaching ranks, Brandt worked with goalkeepers for LA Surf Soccer Club (Torrance, Calif.), United Soccer Club (Loveland, Colo.) and Thompson Valley High School (Loveland, Colo.).
