Brea has a Master of Science degree in psychology and has been supporting neurodiverse children and youth for almost 10 years. Brea began her journey in the field of disability as a Support Worker for Autistic individuals. While working as a Lifeguard, Brea went on to teach and coach swimming for autistic children and youth.

Always working or volunteering within the field, Brea was a Big Buddy for a person with prenatal alcohol exposure while completing her undergraduate degree. Brea then branched into Behaviour Intervention working with children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and Prenatal Drug Exposure. It was while working as a BI, that Brea and Elizabeth connected!

Brea continues to seek additional education and training in FASD, child development, and supporting executive functioning. Brea continues to attend school, building her knowledge and passion for supporting children, youth, and their families.

Brea is neurodiverse-affirming and focuses on relationship-based connection. One of her biggest passions is helping others to discover their potential and reach their goals, supporting and modifying the environment as needed to fit their brains and abilities.

A thoughtful and skilled group facilitator, Brea has created and led online social-thinking groups, using Minecraft as a platform for youth, a group that emerged because of the pandemic. Brea is also a facilitator for the Outdoor Adventure Groups and can be found amongst the trees, learning about bugs and fungi!

Brea loves anything dinosaurs and, on her days, off can be found spending time with her husband and toddler (likely playing dinosaurs!).
