She is an emerging Edmonton-based writer entering her fourth year of a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Alberta, where she is studying English and Creative Writing. Breanne applies her creative writing skills to her role at ESCC by writing and preparing the Seniors Sector Spotlights and their accompanying profile articles.
