Brittany Friesen

Director of Family Programs

What is your role at AAU?

I am in charge of developing and planning the 30+ emotional support activities each year for the families we serve.

What’s your favorite part of your job?

I love spending time with all of the families we serve.  I’ve been in their shoes and understand first-hand what they are going through.  One of my most favorite activities is racing kids in Mario Kart when they come to visit The Harper Hope Center!

When you’re not working what can we find you doing?

Spending time with my family, or teaching 4th and 5th graders in our Kid’s Ministry at my church.

Favorite TV series? Ted Lasso

If you were stranded on an island, what 3 foods could you survive on forever?

Chips and any kind of dip (particular sour cream & onion), Chicken Enchiladas and Parmesan Truffle Fries & the Aioli dipping sauce from Ollie & Hobbes.
