Why I Do This Work
Brittany’s passion for her work is deeply personal. As a first-generation college student from a low-income background, she personally experienced the transformative power of philanthropy through a scholarship and mentorship opportunity during her college years. This life-changing support not only helped her overcome barriers but also ignited her awareness of the profound impact philanthropy can have on historically underserved individuals. Brittany’s mission is to pay this support forward and create lasting change for others who face similar challenges.
