Background

About Bria Milbery

I consider myself an "accidental activist". I learned about social injustices as an undergraduate student and from there, I've always been driven by the desire for my career to have an impact. I am passionate about social justice, human rights, and working with others to create sustainable change within communities. I work with university students to expand civic engagement and social justice initiatives on campus through events and campaigns, fundraising, speakers, and coursework. I spent years working with youth across North America, empowering them to become active, engaged, and civic-minded global citizens. Through motivational speaking and overseas trip facilitation, I have mentored youth through the process of developing their leadership skills, learning about social justice issues on local, national, and global scales, and to discover their passions. I am skilled in advocacy, volunteer and team management, event planning, program development, public speaking and facilitation, fundraising, and community engagement. Outside of the office, you'll find me hiking with my partner and our dogs, spending time with my family (proud auntie), at a concert, reading, or crafting. I have a permanent travel bug and love exploring new places.
