Briana and Lisa met in 2006 as San Diego State University geology students, Go Aztecs! Our class was a tight knit group that went on a lot of field mapping trips, and we got the opportunity to know each other well. Although they both have a love of rocks, hiking and volcanoes, Lisa eventually moved onto mining engineering while Briana forged ahead with geology. After finishing school, these two ended up moving to different states and continued to keep in touch. Lisa now owns her own mining consulting company and is excited to bring her expertise in working with maps to the Rally! These ladies still get together every couple of years with some of their geology classmates for trips to explore National Parks. These two have always gotten along well and have a great time when they get together. Briana had been asking Lisa for several years if she would be interested in competing in the Rebelle with her and this time she said yes! This is Briana’s 3rd year competing in the Rebelle after taking the 2023 rally off. These two are excited to team up and see what 2024 has in store!
I am a lover of the outdoors and find myself most content when camping under the stars surrounded by the tranquility of nature. I was born with an innate sense of adventure; whether it’s my imagination carrying me to far-away lands while reading a good book or by traveling to find the next beautiful place just around the corner.

I share a birthday with Yellow Day, which is also known as the “Happiest Day of the Year”!
The first time I signed up for the Rebelle in 2021, it was for the experience of a lifetime and to prove that I could finish the Rebelle Rally. I found myself signing up again in 2022 after I realized that I had a bit of fear of missing out complex going on and wanted to begin to understand the ultimate chess game known as the Rebelle a little bit better. I skipped signing up for the 2023 Rebelle because I wanted some space to work on myself and do some healing. Luckily I was able to help the Sol Seekers #201 team with their social media during the Rally and had a great time writing my daily musings! And now here I am, in 2024 signed up for my third Rebelle… After I signed up for some more Type 2 Rebelle fun, the universe decided to throw some monkey wrenches at me and made me reevaluate my goals for this year’s rally. When the universe tells you to stop, reevaluate and pivot, you listen. The lessons that the rally teaches each of us are part of why I keep coming back. Only time will reveal what this year’s rally has to teach me!
I’m most inspired by nature and the beauty and inner strength that can be found in the great outdoors!
My favorite book series is the Harry Potter series. I’m a bit of a nerd so it’s not a surprise that my favorite shows are “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” and “How It’s Made”.
Being a Rebelle!

I married my high school sweetheart and we have four children together. We are about to celebrate our 23 yr wedding anniversary.
My partner asked me to be her navigator. It is something I haven't experienced before and I could manage it financially and with work so figured why not.
Watching my kids achieve the goals they set out for. Watching them decide to do something, then work for it, then achieve it. Watching the entire cycle and watching them grow in their crafts over the years is a special treat and a reminder that we are all capable of more then we think.
I am a huge Harry Potter Fan and a big fan of Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Favorite Show is Game of Thrones.
