While work is a primary focus for Brie, she relishes staying active and loves anything with a “bit of adrenaline.” For date night, a competitive sport like bowling, soccer, or an intense air hockey match may be in order, followed by dinner at a restaurant they haven’t been to in a while. Traveling is also one of Brie’s passions, and her motto is “the world is too big to always go to the same place,” so be sure to ask her about her latest destination!
