She is also an advocate of wildlife conservation and environmental protection.

Prior to her big win, Brittany was diagnosed with brain cancer and has to undergo a 12-month chemotherapy while competing in Miss Earth Australia 2017 where she was adjudged first runner-up and Miss Earth Australia Air 2017.

During her talent presentation on the pageant, she courageously removed her wig and shares her story to inspire a lot of people across the world on being grateful for what they have and not giving up on oneself no matter how bad the situation looks.

“I just want to drive my story harder that I was an earth warrior before cancer, during cancer and I will be always after cancer. It’s something I’m proud of. Something insignificant as hair doesn’t matter. My message is what matters, it’s about a much bigger picture that people can still achieve amazing things. If we can put that energy into saving the environment, the world will be a better place. I’m really grateful for this experience,” she said.

Currently, Brittany was named as the Ambassador for the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation and is actively involved in fundraising for further disease awareness, research, and advocacy efforts.
