Hi, I’m Brittany.
I’m currently Chief of Staff at Medium. Medium is an open publishing platform, a home for human ideas, a member-supported community–a space for anyone to tell their story.
As a writer on Medium for years, it’s a delight to be a part of the Medium team and help move our mission forward. My job is a mix of business strategy, editorial/comms, product thinking, event planning, culture building, and problem-solving that’s hard to summarize in one sentence.
Before Medium, I was an editor, a senior program manager, a freelance writer, a community engagement specialist, and (briefly) an ESL teacher. I’ve worked at nonprofits, higher ed, creative agencies, and tech companies. (I promise there’s a throughline to this path that all makes sense–at least to me!).
I have a Master’s in Nonprofit Studies from the University of Richmond. For my capstone research, I studied diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and theories of change in the environmental nonprofit sector. My undergrad degree is from William & Mary, in marketing and psychology, and I studied audio storytelling at the Salt Institute in Maine.
I live in Richmond, VA with my fiancé and my friends.
