Briggs has been an active volunteer since they were 5 years old, passionate about community outreach, inspiring belonging, and empowering individuals. A dynamic educator who infuses creativity and fun into their lessons, Briggs brings experience from a variety of roles.

As an Activities and Wellness Coordinator with GEF Seniors Housing where they put the “create” into recreation by changing the way to connect with seniors during the pandemic. Briggs later joined Elevate as a learner in the WEST program, and quickly fell in love with the organization’s mission: women and underrepresented groups are given the opportunity to thrive through careers in aviation.

After graduating from Cohort Alpha and starting their role with Aero Mag 2000 as a De-icing Technician, they continued to work alongside the WEST program to support learners until they were offered the role of ACE Facilitator.
