A lifelong advocate for mindset shifts, I knew it was time to pivot professionally when people outside my certified focus—middle schoolers—began seeking my guidance. Originally from Rhode Island, I earned my BA in Communications from Northeastern before moving to NYC in 2017. After receiving my MA and MEd in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University, I began working in NYC schools as planned.

But life had other ideas. Friends, family, and even strangers kept turning to me for advice—and after a medical crisis left me temporarily paralyzed, I leaned on my own training to heal. That experience sparked the creation of my original brand: Bri Undeniably, built to bring real, relatable, and psychologically-backed solutions to the spaces that need them most.

Fast-forward to today, the Certified BS podcast is the revamped Iteration of my vision, bringing new energy to the world of mental health.
