BRITTANY LUKASEK WYATT
Marketing Assistant
Brittany says she used to daydream about love, travel, success and motherhood. Now, as she watches those dreams becoming reality, she says she's in total awe of God and beautiful blessings. She now spends most of her spare time with her family. When she has quiet moments, she's likely to be in the kitchen, baking something from scratch, scrubbing or polishing something or rearranging something. She also enjoys bringing new life to old furniture. However, she shares the most time and the BEST time with her pride and joy: her 11-month-old. She says their daily adventures bring her total bliss and fulfill her divine purpose.
