Briana Belbeck, from Ferndale, Mich., is the support team leader for the Spruce unit in AmeriCorps NCCC FEMA Corps’ class 20. This is her second term of service with FEMA Corps. Last year she served as a corps member on the team Spruce 2 at the Vinton campus.
Briana will be providing administrative support to the Spruce unit in addition to leading teams when needed. When asked why she chose to serve, she says, “I wanted to do something bigger than myself. I wanted the feeling of doing something great with my life by helping as many people as I can.”
Briana graduated from Berley High School in 2008 and attended Oakland Community College prior to joining FEMA Corps. After completing her term of service, she plans to complete her bachelor’s degree while volunteering or studying abroad.
Serving in the inaugural year of FEMA Corps was one of the most challenging and exciting things Briana has done and has helped shape her plans for the future.
