Brianna grew up in Fort Worth, TX, where she developed a passion for agriculture, raising livestock, competing in stock shows, enjoying friends and volunteering at veterinary clinics. She started her education at a community college where she began to grow into her purpose. At the time, Brianna thought that becoming a Research Veterinarian was her path, but little did she know she was geared for greater. During a rough start at her community college, she developed and began to embody a motto called, 'Triple G's' which stands for 'Grow in every way, Grind Daily, then Glow for eternity'. This motto served as a guiding principle during challenging times and became a source of inspiration for herself. Slowly she used it to mentor, inspire, and remind not only herself but others to constantly improve and protect every aspect of their life.
