Brittany began her television career in Bangor in 2012, and after a few years working in Albany, New York, she's happy to be back in the place she now calls home.
Brittany got her start in news while attending Framingham High School in Massachusetts. She immediately became hooked on storytelling and went on to get her degree in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University.
Her favorite part of the job is getting to do something different every day and meeting new people along the way.
Born and raised just outside of Boston, she loves all things New England sports! When she's not at work you can catch her at UMaine games or at a concert with her husband, Tyson, and their son, Daniel.
