Brittany is passionate about cross-disciplinary practice and the power that it holds to create practical and effective change in society. Her role at ISCAST combines her mixed background in science and communications/creative services with the faith she is deeply passionate about.
She remembers sparking debates in her school over trying to prove that God is real. In her penultimate year, she started a lunchtime group (as part of a Certificate III in Ministry and Theology) to engage non-believing students in philosophical discussions regarding Christianity, which included conversations on science and faith. In the last year of her schooling at PLC, Brittany was Christian Union captain and received the Victorian Premiers’ Award for VCE Studio Arts.
Following a gap year at the Dream Centre Leadership School in Los Angeles, Brittany completed a Bachelor of Science at Monash University, with a major in physiology and minor in biochemistry, and worked at Mustard Leadership as the Digital Communications and Creative Coordinator.
Throughout her university years, she was part of the Science Future Leaders program, the Green Steps Sustainability Leaders program, entrepreneurship workshops, electives in Design Thinking and Design for Social Impact, and completed an internship and research project at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research. She is passionate about helping non-profits to produce resources and share the impact they are contributing to society, through strategic creative communication.
