Brianna is thankful to CFCArts for giving her a place of community and growth for the past four years.

Having graduated from UCF with an Interdisciplinary Studies degree with an emphasis in theatre, and nonprofit management, she has learned the ins and outs of Orlando nonprofit theaters both on stage and off. She works full-time in Communications at the Winter Park Library and firmly believes in the freedom to read. Brianna is excited to have her directing debut at CFCArts, having previously assistant directed Elf the Musical, Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars, and A Christmas Carol.
