Brittany represents the latest in a long lineage of educators. Her journey began with teaching at a Title 1 elementary school, but it was the 2017 Kentucky teacher strikes that prompted her to reevaluate her career path. Brittany made a pivotal shift, transitioning into the realm of Ed Tech. Amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, she earned her Master’s Degree in Organizational Performance and Workplace Learning from Boise State University while working full time as an education consultant for KET, Kentucky’s local PBS affiliate.
Brittany has served the League of Women Voters as Communications Chair and Technology Trainer. She now serves Anthology, a leading Education Technology company, as a Senior Education & Training Specialist. In her leisure time, Brittany teaches yoga in the Living Arts and Science Center’s planetarium, enjoys walks with her dog Stella, and indulges her love for travel.

What will 86-year-old you want you to know TODAY?
I think about this version of myself a lot. In everything I do I aim to make my younger and older self proud. I’ve always felt mature for my age, but the older I get the the younger I feel so I fully anticipate my 86-year-old self to tell me to play more.
