After spending her first 22 years exploring the mountains, deserts, and beaches of southern California, Brianna decided to stop fighting through crowded freeways and find the real West. In search of a wilderness not overrun by confused Los Angeles day-trippers, she took her biology degree and added a healthy dose of amorphous big-picture perspective by snagging a Master’s of Environmental Studies from the University of Montana in Missoula.
Her real-life job, vaguely described as a “Program Manager” at the Montana Water Trust, boils down to meeting this non-profit’s goal of keeping fish wet. Brianna also works as a freelance writer when an interesting story plops down, and has taught writing at the U.M. College of Technology. She is delighted to be a part of New West’s innovative network of writers, readers, and invested citizens.
Any nooks and crannies of time Brianna is not stationed in front of a computer are immediately filled with hiking, biking, floating, snowboarding, gardening, yoga, playing guitar, dancing like a mad woman, and, of course, quite a lot of deck-sitting and beer-drinking.
