2017 Scholar
Brianna attended Bermuda High School between 2004 and 2017. In 2015, she secured 12 GCSEs (all at A* level) and was awarded the Doris Trott Butterfield Scholarship for the highest GPA. Brianna then completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme at BHS and in 2017 achieved a score of 45, the highest academic score possible placing her in the top 0.3% of students worldwide. For her successes throughout high school, she was also awarded The MacKenzie Gibbons Riihiluoma Cup and The Lucy Glynn Award for the highest academic achievement.
While at BHS, Brianna was elected House Captain by her peers. She was one of two students who conceptualised and then organised the first Careers Fair at the school. This was a significant task and involved recruiting businesses to participate in the event, coordinating with the school to facilitate the fair, and enthusing students of a variety of ages to attend. The fair was such a success that it has become a biennial fixture in the school's calendar. In her final year at BHS, Brianna also organised a networking event for students to help them practice building professional relationships.
Brianna has participated in Round Square Conferences in Canada and Singapore. She received the internationally recognised Round Square King Constantine Medal for her work to advance the common cause.
Within the community, Brianna has acted as a tutor and participated in the YouthNet peer mentoring program as well as having been a volunteer for Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation for the past three years.
Brianna is a keen and active competitor in sports. At BHS, she was a member of the school teams in netball, volleyball, track and cross-country. She is also a member of The Mid Atlantic Athletic Club. In March, 2017, she qualified for the Carifta Games in Curacao and represented Bermuda in the 3000-meter event. Brianna was named the Bermuda National Cross-Country Champion for Under 20 Girls in 2016 and Bermuda National Champion in the 1500-meter in 2017.
