MEET BRIE: THE ERUDITE!
GET TO KNOW BRIE
There are many sides to our FDG team members - sides that express other areas of creativity and passion in life - and Brie, our Senior Project Accountant, is no different! As part of our Accounting Team, Brie is always one to have the answers and implements her skill and competence with numbers into improving the day-to-day functions of FDG projects. Graduating from the University of North Texas in 2011 with her Bachelor’s in Applied Technology and Performance Improvement, Brie provides much needed support and different perspectives that amplify the team’s ability to make an impact on both projects and clients alike. While her unique skillset and talents brought her to FDG, Brie has dabbled in a variety of other careers including makeup artistry! She has since been able to utilize her creativity and put it toward the art of design and architecture.
Originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado, Brie moved to the DFW area in 2005, ready to dive into the fast-paced, lively atmosphere that encompasses Dallas. Trading snow storms for sweltering summers, Brie still enjoys the radical, ever-changing Texas climate along with the myriad of food that the Metroplex has to offer. Fifteen years later, Brie can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Becoming part of the Faulkner Family in 2020, Brie has brought unending positivity to the team, entering the office every day with a smile on her face. Brie is quick to lend a helping hand when she sees someone in need of assistance, and will always go out of her way to find the answer to any problem. Her vast knowledge and numerous talents has dubbed Brie, “The Erudite.”
