Breanne was a four year varsity collegiate athlete, rowing for the Clemson Unviersity Women's Rowing Team, where she learned how to foster her team-centered leadership. Breanne moved on to leading her Senior Design Capstone Team to a 1st Place finish in the 2012 NCIIA BMEStart Undergraduate Design Competition for the team's innovation: Assurefit- a chest tube stabilization device. Breanne found her drive for innovation and fascination with design during the development of this technology, and since has become co-director of a high-school design program. = Related Links =
