My name is Brianne Wixson, but you can call me Bri!
My Path in Science:
My journey in the world of pharmaceuticals began in 2016. Starting as a QC Analyst, I experienced the diverse and demanding world of quality control. Over time, I found my niche within a QC group that focuses on maintaining and developing the site’s laboratory information management system. This role allows me to contribute directly to all the vital processes involved in ensuring the safety and efficacy of medications. The knowledge that my work plays a part in helping people receive life-saving treatments is incredibly fulfilling.
Love, Family, and Motherhood:
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from SUNY Binghamton in 2016. College is also where I met my amazing husband, Homer, on Tinder (yes, you read that right – Tinder!). Though we didn’t attend the same university, a spark ignited between us. We embarked on a long-distance relationship that stretched four years. While the distance was challenging, our love persevered, and we grew stronger together.
We finally tied the knot in the summer of 2019. Two years later, in 2021, we took another exciting step together by purchasing our first home. As our life together unfolded, we started making plans for the next chapter – starting a family.
Spring of 2023 brought an immense joy to our lives – the arrival of our precious daughter! While I’ve always considered myself a planner, there’s no way to truly prepare for the life-altering experience of motherhood. It’s a cliché, but it’s true – motherhood truly changes you. My priorities shifted as my capacity for love and worry multiplied exponentially. My workload expanded in ways I never imagined, but the rewards are simply indescribable. Juggling work, family, and the ever-growing “Mommy To-Do List” is a constant exercise in adaptation, but the love and fulfillment are worth every sleepless night and overflowing laundry basket.
Finding Balance Beyond the To-Do List:
When I manage to carve out precious moments for myself, I find immense pleasure spending time outdoors, taking our dog for long walks. Maintaining an active lifestyle is important to me, so I try to hit the gym regularly. But I also enjoy exploring other physical activities like paddle-boarding on the lake, escaping for hikes and nature walks, or taking boxing classes. As a health enthusiast, I enjoy cooking delicious and nutritious meals for my family. I also love researching natural products and exploring the benefits of various supplements and skin or haircare options. Recently, I even embarked on a new adventure by starting our own little garden to cultivate fresh produce!
In a Nutshell:
I am a career driven wife and mother, with a passion for well-being, and endless quirks. I constantly strive to find balance in the beautiful chaos of life. Through it all, I embrace the challenges and celebrate the joys that come with each new chapter.
