What is your nickname?
My friends call me Brit.
What is your weakness?
My weaknesses are ice cream and reality TV.
Why are you passionate about working at EdTrust?
Education is often coined as the great equalizer, but far too often it fails to live up to that promise. Growing up in the deep south I have seen that failure in action. I am a firm believer that school-aged children are the future and deserve our full and uncompromised investment. Working at EdTrust allows me to advance education equity and work alongside such talented advocates while showcasing my creativity. Working with the Tennessee team specifically allows me to advocate for students in the South, about whom I am fiercely passionate.
