Welcome to The Orchards, Bri Bri Ferguson stumbled into Activities by accident two years ago. She had never imagined working with the elderly but when an opportunity came up, she took a chance and instantly fell in love! She left behind her job as an assignment editor at WTAE. Since then, she’s been quirkier and crazier than ever. Often times you will see her with a Wacky Hat or two, hatching chickens, or dancing down the hallway. Bri will do anything to put a smile on a resident’s face. Bri has a bachelors in Media Arts from Robert Morris University and is a former Zumba instructor. Her current passions are kayaking, photography, and attempting to stay upright in different yoga classes. WELCOME NEW RESIDENTS Please welcome our new residents when you see them across campus!
