While all her entry experience was in Wisconsin, the bulk of her administration experience has been in Michigan. Brittney thrives to uphold the highest of standards in a facility, and Freedom Village is no different. in one of the most highly regulated states, we maintain a 5-star rating, to which she will strive to maintain.  In her first 6 months at Freedom Village the staff and residents have been nothing but warm, kind, and welcoming; to which Brittney is incredibly grateful for.

In her spare time you can most likely find her at home with her husband and 3 daughters. They spend lots of time outside; farming, boating, playing in the snow, etc. Born and raised in West Michigan, this is home; Freedom Village is home.
