Bri was born and raised in Vermont, where she developed an early fascination with animal behavior. She earned her degree in Zoology from the University of Vermont before moving to Colorado in 2007 to begin her journey in service dog training at a small non-profit organization. This work combined her lifelong love of dog training with the opportunity to partner with incredible clients and educate the public about service dogs. In 2017, Bri stepped away from full-time training to start a family. She has since returned to the field and now balances service dog training at Sunrise Service Dogs with time spent with her two beautiful daughters, her loving husband, a silly dog, and a flock of chickens in Pine, CO.
