About Brittany
- I grew up playing softball.
- During my junior year of college, I realized that I probably wouldn’t keep playing softball at a professional capacity but I still wanted to find a way to incorporate sports into my career.
- I also really liked math, so sports analytics seemed like it could be a good fit for me.
- After graduating, I started applying for any sports analytics roles I could find in a variety of sports.
- I started my career in football analytics through the Denise DeBartolo York Fellowship—a fellowship specifically for women in sports—with the San Francisco 49ers.
- After that year-long fellowship, I got a job working for the NFL Network as a next gen stats researcher.
- I got the opportunity to be a part of the MLB diversity fellowship and worked as a baseball operations fellow for the Colorado Rockies.
- After a few years, I moved up to my current position as manager of baseball research, where I collect baseball data to use to our team’s advantage to win games.
