From the time she was a young child, Briana was interested in animals and veterinary medicine—she remembers being fascinated by the hospital when her family took their dog to the vet. She has followed that interest into the veterinary field, first as a job shadow and now as an assistant and technician. She is also currently studying at UGA as a Fisheries and Wildlife major, with the intention of becoming a veterinarian in the future.

When she’s not studying or working, Briana loves being active in the outdoors, whether that’s hiking, walking, or running. She shares her home with an unusually active bulldog named Millie.
