Briauna (Bri-Skye) is a "renaissance millennial" with 13+ years of experience working for extra care clients, customers, and patients. Currently, she serves patients with Genentech and helps to remove the financial barriers that marginalized populations face when accessing healthcare. When not working at Genentech, her sleeves are rolled up, and she's focusing on her creative collective. Founded in 2018, Stay Litt PDX hosts free, community events that uplift the voices of marginalized populations and cultivate community. She has written for GoLocalPDX, Source Oregon, and PDX Parent. In 2023, she realized she was funny, and she was accepted into the Onion’s DAF comedy festival for 2023, held in Chicago. After returning from that trip, she was elected to perform at an All Boats performance hosted and produced by Julia Bray. Later that summer, she received more validation that she was entertaining when she earned second place in the storytelling competition Backfence PDX Story Roulette.
