Having graduated from the 情色五月天, Reno in 2018, Brianna brings a wealth of experience and dedication to the Path to Independence (P2I) program. Originally from Northern California, Brianna made the move to Reno in 2014 to pursue her passion for Human Development and Family Studies, complemented by a Minor in Addiction Treatment Services.

During her undergraduate years, Brianna immersed herself in various facets of campus life. Not only did she serve as an Ed Coach for the Path to Independence program but was also a member of the Women's Club Soccer team. Following her graduation, Brianna embarked on a rewarding journey with the Davidson Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving profoundly gifted youth and their families.

Outside of her professional endeavors, Brianna cherishes time spent with her husband, daughter and furry companion, Boca. Her return to the Path to Independence program fills her with enthusiasm as she looks forward to providing unwavering support to students on their journey towards independence and success.
