She supports the PAS team logistically and administratively to help them provide racial equity training and workshops to external clients.

Brea comes to ABFE after having managed a grant that reached across five agencies to provide suicide prevention training to a six-county area in Northeast Florida. She brings a vast array of experience in the nonprofit sector, including serving with City Year for two years doing educational equity work in her hometown. She’s also worked in higher education and in a Neuropsychology Clinic assessing geriatric patients for memory disorders. 

She received her master’s degree in Community Psychology from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University and firmly believes that building and strengthening community is how Black people get free.
