Experience
Brynna's professional writing career began eight years ago, when the travel blog she started from her tiny flat in Florence, Italy as a newly-post-graduate expatriate was picked up by TheFeed.us. In the years that followed, she traveled the globe, writing creatively about her experiences and working her way up to editor-in-chief of The Feed. In that role, Brynna proved to be instrumental in transforming the news and entertainment site into a digital creative collective that covered topics ranging from art and travel to wellness, literature, comedy, and crafting. Soon after, Brynna relocated to San Diego where she met with the founder of Wave Soda, a natural soda company for which she developed a health and wellness blog to be associated with their national campaign. After getting that off the ground, she settled in New Orleans, where she promptly began an apprenticeship with a certified clinical herbalist and began her studies in herbal medicine.
Education
Brynna attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in 2015. She began her apprenticeship in herbal medicine in 2020.
