Her journey has been shaped by her deep connection to church, particularly the music it offered. Briana opens up about the delicate balance of church involvement for young people, highlighting the importance of finding one's own path and taking breaks when necessary.Briana's compassionate nature and her innate desire to help others have led her to wear multiple hats and take on various roles. One of her most fulfilling endeavors is working at Wichita's Littlest Heroes—a nonprofit organization that supports young children battling diseases. In this role, Briana matches these courageous youngsters with generous donors, enabling parents to take time off work and cover the costs of their children's treatments. It is a challenging job, but one that fills her heart with a profound sense of purpose.Despite juggling multiple responsibilities, Briana finds joy in her work because it aligns with her core values. Her selflessness and inability to say no demonstrate her unwavering commitment to serving others.
