After growing up in Rogers, Arkansas, Brigitte attended Indiana University where she earned a degree in School Psychology. She then worked for Indianapolis Public Schools, as a school psychologist for six years, serving the student population through consultation with staff and parents, as well as providing individual and small group intervention and educational evaluations. One of her career goals is to become more involved with the local and national school psychology associations. She has always enjoyed cooking, mostly because she loves to eat! She also enjoys finding new trails to explore and going to the movies.
