Originally from Derry, New Hampshire, Briella was pursuing a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Management and a dual degree in Sustainability from the University of New Hampshire, Durham. At UNH, Briella worked as a Consultant in the B Impact Clinic, competed in the Social Venture Innovation Challenge, and served as Division Lead for Business Ethics. She aligns her work with her values surrounding social equity, environmental justice, and sustainability.  

During the summer of 2021, Briella worked alongside Seacoast Eat Local to expand local food access using a SNAP subscription program. She coordinated logistics, created promotional resources, conducted SNAP outreach surveys, researched SNAP populations and trends, updated online content, and other relevant tasks that helped with the success of the program. Additionally, Briella worked to reconnect the NH community to the source of their food and worked to communicate the story of farmers and local food producers to consumers.
