Brittany is a fourth year doctoral candidate at the University of Northern Colorado. She is interested in effective communication and consultation practices between special education service providers and general education classroom teachers. She is also passionate about social opportunities for students who are deaf and hard of hearing, and collaborated to create two summer camps for DHH students in Colorado.

Before moving to Colorado, Brittany worked as an itinerant teacher for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Previous to working as a teacher of the deaf, she taught second grade through Teach for America. She has presented at nationwide conferences, including the Clarke Mainstream Conference, the Alexander Graham Bell Convention, and the Educational Audiology Association Conference, and has published in both peer-reviewed and practitioner-focused journals. A Fort Collins resident, she spends her free time hiking and teaching yoga.
