BRITTNEY COLLINS

 I was born in Noble County and have been a long time resident of Fort Wayne. I earned an undergraduate degree in international studies and theatre from Butler University in Indianapolis. I’ve pursued a masters in business administration from WGU. My drive to always do my best and stay motivated by mission has naturally presented opportunities to take on leadership roles. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy time with my family, exploring new places, hiking, or going to the lake. My husband, three children, and dog Petey stay busy with sporting events, entertaining friends, and lots of walks. 

LAUREN HEYDENBERK

I am originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan and have lived in Fort Wayne for 3.5 years. I have an older brother, a younger half-sister, and five older stepsisters. I went from being one of two to one of 8 in my 20's! I love to spend time with my family, especially at our cottage on Gun Lake. I enjoy painting, sewing, singing, and just about any craft. Another fact about me is I worked in veterinary medicine for 5 years. I LOVE animals!
