Brianna Powell

Brianna grew up in New Jersey and Illinois, She graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a minor in Black Studies. Empowered by Loyola’s supportive community for underrepresented students, she cultivated a passion for social justice and educational equity while serving as a student leader in the Undergraduate Admissions Office and the Office of Student Diversity Multicultural Affairs. Upon graduation, she worked at a Chicago-based college access non-profit. There, she found a calling for empowering low-income, first-generation high school students to create successful paths to the nation’s top colleges, and to equip them with skills for life beyond admission. She is excited to join the QuestBridge team and to develop expertise to support historically marginalized students in building impactful futures.
