Brielle was raised in New Jersey and attended the College of Charleston in South Carolina where she graduated with a degree in Psychology. She then completed a Master of Science degree in Child Life & Family-Centered Care from Wheelock College in Boston. Brielle returned to New Jersey to begin her career as a child life specialist in varying hospital settings in the NYC area. She spent most of her time working in pediatric oncology and learned so much about the specific struggles of this population. Brielle’s role in working with patients and families to help them cope with the challenges of hospitalization gives her a unique perspective on what TRCF’s scholars have experienced. 

Brielle discovered The Ruth Cheatham Foundation and was immediately drawn to the commitment that TRCF has to change the lives of young people impacted by cancer. Joining the TRCF team has been a dream come true for Brielle. Everyday she is inspried by TRCF’s scholars and their devotion to their education. 

Brielle spends her free time with friends and family. You can find Brielle at the weekly spin class she attends with two of her best friends or going on adventures with her boyfriend and their King Charles Cavalier, Ozzie.
