About
My name is Bryanna, but everyone calls me Bry (like the cheese). I am originally from the east coast, Pittsburgh area. I am the oldest of two girls and the daughter of two amazing, supportive parents. I attended Virginia Tech, graduating in 2015 with bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. I took 5 years to complete my degree because I took two co-ops/internships that allowed me to gain work experience while still in school. I was heavily involved in my school's Formula SAE design team, where we won 6th place at a competition in Michigan out of 150 teams from all around the world. After graduating I moved across the country with my now husband to Washington, where we both took full time positions. I started my career at Boeing working on a variety of roles, my favorite of which was where I got to work with airline customers from all around the world. This experience is what helped me realize my passion for international business!
