Bri is an activist, an entrepreneur, and a nomad. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin- Madison with a bachelor’s in International Studies, she found herself in DC working with a think tank. She did a lot of thinking about women’s health and Africa, and realized that where she really wanted to be was in the field. Her next adventure is taking her to Madagascar with the Peace Corps. Bri never leaves home without her yoga mat and essential oils and loves to dream about a world where all women feel empowered, safe, and healthy.
