Bio
Alex Lidstone
Brigette completed her capstone project on developing a sustainable finance plan for our organization, Climate Caucus. The final product was a very thorough and comprehensive report, as well as a presentation. Our whole team thought Brigette was excellent to work with, and we were incredibly impressed with the quality of the work.

I have studied alongside Brigette for a year and a half, and remain impressed and inspired by her attention to detail, dedication to reconciliation and equity, and her curiosity for the sector and those it serves. Her desire to improve as a professional and advance the organizations she serves is evident in the quality of work she produces. Brigette is a talented communicator with a strong ability to consume research and literature, apply it to workplace and community experiences, and effectively disseminate the information to school peers and organization partners. It has been a pleasure to learn alongside and learn from Brigette, an intelligent, collaborative, and personable woman. She listens as well as she speaks. She prioritizes impact over achievement in every facet of her work. I have no doubt she will enhance every team she joins as she navigates the philanthropic sector.
