Briee Salgado

Briee is one of the Member Programs Coordinators at EFGC. She graduated from Syracuse University and was previously a Special Education Teacher in Chicago Public Schools. When working as a teacher, she found her love for being involved in creating and supporting inclusive communities where people are proud to be who they are. She is excited to bring that passion to her work with the EFGC! Outside of work, Briee takes care of her two cats (Barry and Autumn), hangs out with friends, paints, and takes adult ballet classes.
