Breanna has a B.S. in Biology & Biotechnology, a M.S. in Management, and a M.B.A from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Class of '12, '13 and '15, respectively.

Successful execution. Whether it be the successful execution of a project delivered on time and under budget at work, successfully executing a power clean for the first time in the gym, or simply catching up with laundry and cleaning of the house before Friday so that the weekend can be spent relaxing and enjoying life.

I am passionate, outspoken and I see right through the bullsh*t. I was a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace. I shut down, but after some time, it hit me. This incident was not going to define me. Some women face the wrath of their workplace counterparts every day and it is so unfortunate. I am resilient at overcoming adversity, and always finding a more positive, and stronger, outcome for any obstacle in my way. It is, and always will be, a constant and consistent proving ground, and the underestimation is what fuels me to persevere.
