As a grant writer on the Philanthropy Team, Bri loves delving into the nuances of each Plant With Purpose program to connect high-impact funders with the parts of our holistic mission they most care about. She is daily inspired by reading and writing about partnering farmers’ resilience and the transformative impact of donors’ generosity in their lives.

Bri holds degrees in Natural Resources & Environmental Science and Psychology, and minors in Technical Writing and Global Studies. She has lived long stints in New Zealand, California, and Kentucky, all of which deepened her appreciation of healthy ecosystems in different ways. Prior to Plant With Purpose, she was a grant writer for the Kentucky anti-poverty nonprofit Community Action Council. When not desperately trying to meet word limits, she enjoys meals with pals, traveling to see family with her husband Pete, and obsessing over her cat.
