Bri grew up in North Carolina and attended Appalachian State University, where she graduated with her Bachelors in Sustainable Development.  She is a people-centered leader with experience in helping others develop, grow, assimilate, and excel regardless of their background.  She has worked with nonprofit organizations for many years in supporting local and global communities.

In 2019, Bri relocated to Austin, for what she thought would be a small amount of time but has fallen in love with the city and community. Over the past five years she has worked in Children’s Ministry at churches across Austin. She is currently working towards her Master of Social Work at Texas State University.

In her free time Bri enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking with her dog, exercising, and playing video games with her husband.   With a passion for sharing the love of Christ with kids and empowering the next generation, Bri is excited to be working with Side by Side Kids.
