Through internship and competition-based experiences at BASE 11, NASA, National Science Foundation (NSF), and other organizations, she determined electrical engineering would be the most suitable career choice for her.

Breanna has and continues to take advantage of a multitude of leadership roles as a student and prospective engineer. She participates in a range of extracurricular organizations, filling leadership positions, such as a BASE 11 Victory Circle Leader, club president of HFCC’s engineering club, and an engineering mentor to women through MSU’s Women in Engineering (WIE) organization. In addition, she also maintains membership to a variety of academic clubs, such as engineering, bio-medicine engineering, and aerospace medicine engineering. She also takes pride in her participation in several minorities in engineering advocacy organizations such as Society of Women in Engineering (SWE), National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE).
