Biography:

Brittany is a talkative, energetic girl who loves gymnastics. She isn't the most elegant gymnast, but she is very powerful. Her best events are floor and vault and her worst is beam.

Brittany became an elite about a year ago, and for this reason moved from her hometown in Atlanta, Georgia to train at Topopolilly. Her old coaches hated to see her go, but they knew she had the potential and the natural talent to do great things in gymnastics. She was at Topopolilly from July 2001 until November, but the peak of her career was in July and August. After November she felt that she just couldn't take it anymore and didn't want to waste her parents money, so she left. However, in training at smaller scale gyms, she realized how much Topopolilly had made her, and for that reason just had to come back. Her chance came perfectly when Topopolilly closed for remodeling and reopened, letting the first 20 applicants in. Being one of those 20, Brittany decided this is her last and best chance to show the world what she can do.

She enjoys reading, ice skating, dancing, shopping, movies, and of course talking.
