A graduate of the University of Montana College of Business, she has a depth of varied HR experience in healthcare, nonprofits, the service industry, and for-profit businesses. In 2017, she joined KettleHouse Brewing Co. Doing so helped merge her passion for both beer and effective HR strategy as well as follow in the beer industry footsteps of her grandfather and father as a third-generation “beerman.” At KettleHouse, Brittany has led the charge to develop and optimize HR strategy to help support the company as it grows. 

In addition, she offers leadership coaching and HR consulting through her practice, Expedition Coaching and Consulting LLC.

Brittany is passionate about helping to elevate the HR profession and does so by staying involved at both the national and local levels. She currently serves as the Membership Director for the Montana State SHRM Council and has previously served in multiple roles for the local chapter, Big Sky SHRM, including previously serving as President. 

She also volunteers on the executive of her Toastmasters Club, Shootin’ the Bull (Club #8712), and for the Montana Chapter of the Pink Boots Society. She has also volunteered for Pink Boots on the national level. 

When not practicing HR or talking beer, you can usually find her playing outside with her family either chasing fresh powder in the Winter or soaking up the sun in the Summer.
