Brittany has always believed that with the right tools and support there is no limit to a child’s potential. With that in mind she received a Master’s Degree in Family and Human Development and became a Certified Family Life Educator. Her education has helped her recognize and respond to many threats children and families face today. She is Co-Founder and Executive Director of Project STAND, where youth, parents, and school communities are empowered to use technology in healthy ways. She is also Co-Founder of Safe Tech Solutions, a collaboration of nonprofits who provide K-12 media safety education. Brittany has advocated for important policy changes at the local, state, national, and international levels. In 2023 Brittany spoke with delegates and activists at the United Nations about the harms of pornography to children, and the role of parents and governments in keeping kids safe online. She believes there is so much we can do to address these issues, and is proud to be a part of the solution. Brittany has served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), Sexual Assault (SANE) Advocate, is a member of the Safeguard Alliance (a task force of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation), and is creator and host of the podcast, Raising Today’s Kids. Brittany loves to spend time in the mountains of Montana where she refreshes herself to address the magnitude of digital dilemmas our kids face. She is an optimist and loves linking arms with others who have hope for a bright future. She and her husband feel so blessed to have four children who inspire her to fight to protect all children.
