Breezy had a passion for life, family, animals, travel, music, and friends.  She lived for her dog Remi and found love with her soulmate Ethan.  Bre was easy to love.  She was well on her way to reaching her goal of being a zoo veterinarian.  The simplest pleasures in life brought joy to Breezy.  She wore a constant glow and had the ability to find happiness in her daily activities.  Her pleasant personality and big smile were contagious to all she would be with.  Bre found inspiration by Jane Goodall, Steve Irwin and others whose mission is to educate and inspire individual action to safeguard the wildlife and our planet.

Upon graduation from high school as class valedictorian at Green Bay East High School, Bre pursued her studies initially at Concordia University, Mequon, WI; then studied abroad at the University of Limerick, Ireland (where she traveled extensively through Europe) completing her degree and graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science from St. Norbert College, De Pere, WI.  She was a DVM candidate, Class of 2024, as well as a Masters of Public Heath Candidate at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Missouri in Columbia.
