She was selected as an Omaha World Herald All-Academic Honorable Mention honoree.
When asked to name her favorite class during her time at Battle Creek, Brynn listed Anatomy and Physiology with Mr. Junior Aguilar, stating that the class “gave her the opportunity to transform abstract science into knowledge that she will be able to utilize in the real world.” Brynn said that her favorite teacher at BCHS was Mr. Jonah Heng, stating, “He taught me the importance of handling life challenges with grace and patience and believing in myself no matter what. He also encouraged me to accomplish things that I had previously thought impossible.” She mentioned that her most special memories during high school were spending time with her friends at cross country meets.
Outside of school, Brynn enjoys spending time with friends and family, playing the piano, reading, and going shopping.
After high school, Brynn will attend the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and the University of Nebraska Medical Center to pursue a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing. She then plans to work in the ICU before earning her doctorate in nursing anesthesia.
