Brittany Cairns

Profile:

​

Britt studies a Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Business and is extremely passionate about playing and watching sport, shopping and travelling with family and friends. She is also a big self-proclaimed coffee addict and enjoys trying out new cafes to find the best coffee in Sydney!

 

Britt’s female role model is Turia Pitt, a mining engineer who tragically had 65% of her body burnt after competing in a 10km ultramarathon through the Western Australia Kimberley region. As an author, Turia now inspires individuals to be more confident in themselves and to overcome obstacles. Britt finds her inspiring as a motivational speaker who demonstrates that an individual should never give up no matter what obstacles appear.

​

Britt’s favourite thing about WiB is being surrounded by a group of like-minded women who have a passion for female empowerment and networking. She says, “It is great to meet people with great ambitions, and who have the ability to network and meet with sponsored firms.”
