About Me
Hi! I'm Brittany, and I'm fairly certain I'm an alien. For as long as I can remember, I've looked around and felt home was anywhere but here. I found an enigmatic familiarity in the stars, the sea, and the mysterious pockets of nature around my childhood home. I became the girl who thought she could talk to sharks, aliens, mermaids, and fairies, made magic wands, and drew intergalactic symbols on her wrists. My family figured I'd grow out of it, but then, I discovered writing.
I spent hours hunched over notebooks and laptop screens, excitedly producing bundles of pages tied together by string. The writer-to-actor pipeline got a hold on me when I came to realize I didn't have to keep all these words in my head. However, no matter how deeply I delve into the creative industries here on Earth, I am constantly swimming in the seas of my own imagination. I think many artists can attest to this, but it's pretty rare for me to be just picking up coffee. I'm probably seeing a cosmic spaceport filled with humans excited about the new shipment of beans from the mysterious Milky Way Galaxy.

On a more serious note, the imagination is an incredible realm of healing and growth for me. It's gotten me through some of my most difficult challenges and harrowing times. It's helped me see light in even the darkest of situations.

Throughout my life, I’ve always had characters, worlds to escape to, and kind voices in my head telling me it was all going to be okay. I had brave heroes begging me to keep going, and villains with soft hearts saying I was stronger than I knew. I had funny side characters telling me my story was far from over, and dashing love interests reminding me to love myself. Slowly, subconsciously, these people, invisible to the world but real to me, helped me survive. Soon, my internal dialogue changed to match theirs. Through them, I learned self-love and self-acceptance.
Because of writing, I was never alone. I’m still never alone, and it is my greatest hope that the worlds and characters that saved my life might someday do the same for others. My stories might be a little weird, but if they make just one person out there smile, that'll mean everything to me.
