Brittany lives in Madison, Wisconsin, and is a midwest transplant, originally from Long Island, NY. For her, as for most, music has played a large part in her relationships, memory, and identity. She recently began working as a resident psychiatrist, where she hopes to be able to support others' in their journey through this difficult thing we call life. She grew up doing gymnastics for many years, and recently started practicing again. She also enjoys old and new friends, cooking, horror and true crime stories, and learning how to play music.

In this conversation, Brittany and I sit down and talk about Mr. Long Island aka The Piano Man aka Billy Joel, coming of age, the comforts of home, music in the gym, and feeling invincible.
