Brittni was born and raised in Northeast Iowa in the small town of Waverly. She went to the University of Northern Iowa and graduated last May with a Bachelor’s degree in Earth Science with an Interpretive Naturalist emphasis. Her greatest interests growing up were camping, swimming, kayaking, hiking, hunting, and fishing. The outdoors still plays a big role in her life. In the summer of 2008, she got her first Student Conservation Association volunteer position at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway in Northern Wisconsin. She thought it was the greatest job ever because she got to spend the summer kayaking and giving programs on the Namekagon River! In the summer of 2009, she had the opportunity to work with the SCA again, as a visitor services intern, at the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in southwest Wyoming and Northeast Utah. The SCA called again for the summer of 2010; a trail corps position in Umatilla National Forest was open. She gladly accepted. She is ready to work hard this summer and get the experience of a lifetime.
