Breanna calls Austin home, but she was raised a country girl. She attended college in San Marcos to lose her accent and pursue a degree in music. Although being part of an orchestra was her goal, she instead landed a career in retail management and is in awe at how God used that experience to prepare her for her role as Connections Director at the Ridge. It is Breanna's pleasure to oversee the Connections Team and the Sunday morning experience. She has a heart to help people experience how God can use them and how God can reach them. Look for her in the lobby at our Bee cave Campus on Sundays. She would love to meet you!
