Britney serves as the College Access Manager at Be A Leader, where she supports middle and high school students through our year-long workshop and signature events.

Britney’s journey with Be A Leader began in 2018, when she participated in the SBC program as a senior. Throughout college, she worked part-time as a College Success Navigator, assisting students with their FAFSA and college applications. She also worked as an administrative assistant with the nonprofit organization Creciendo Unidos, where she supported Spanish-speaking families in workshops that prioritized leadership, mental health, and family values. In 2023, she joined the team full-time as the SBC Coordinator, continuing to guide and support students on their path to higher education.

Britney graduated summa cum laude from Grand Canyon University in December 2022, earning a BS in Criminal Justice Studies with a minor in Psychology. Born in Sonora, Mexico, and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, she migrated with her family at the age of seven in search of better opportunities. Throughout her educational journey, she recognized the significant obstacles that students—particularly those who are undocumented or not U.S. citizens—face in pursuing higher education. Overcoming those obstacles herself ignited her passion for creating equitable pathways to higher education for all, regardless of legal status. She is dedicated to advocating for her students and her community, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to access and achieve their educational dreams.
