What do you like best about your job as a store associate?
I really love people. I enjoy the opportunity to
interact with people working within DeCA and
providing our customers with exceptional service.
Commissary employees have become a family away
from home for me. There have been numerous
occasions when customers have impacted me through
their encouragement, kind words and satisfaction.
I enjoy solving problems and finding new ways to
ensure customers are receiving the best service!
How do you help make the commissary worth the trip?
Outreach! I help plan and execute our store’s
outreach events. At these events, we stress the
benefits people receive from shopping in the
commissary. As an “Army brat,” I know firsthand
the benefit the commissary brings. Within the
store, I ensure our customers are provided with
extraordinary service, so not only are our prices
worth the trip, but our service is as well.
What is your professional history?
I graduated from the University of Kansas in May
with a Bachelor of General Studies in sociology and a
minor in history.
What are your professional goals?
I hope to work my way up in DeCA or another
Brittney is a vital member of the
commissary staff. She ensures a trip
to the commissary is both a positive
and memorable experience. Brittney is
versatile, willing to work wherever she
is needed and helps whoever might ask.
She is not afraid of challenges; rather,
she embraces them. When Brittney is
not on the computer trying to ensure
paperwork is orderly, you will find her
assisting customers, consoling crying
babies or helping an older customer
reach something on a bottom shelf. Her
work is exemplary. She makes coming
to the commissary worth the trip!

government agency. Whatever I do, my main goal for
my life is to impact people in a positive way.
Who influenced your career most and how?
Growing up, I had one hero ― a soldier ― my dad.
Throughout my childhood, I wanted to be just
like him in my behavior and actions. He was my
inspiration for wanting to do something important
with my life and make a difference in the lives of
others. My dad taught me that through a proper
education, dedication and hard work, I was capable
of doing anything I set my mind to. He taught
me to not let fear prohibit the achievement of my
dreams. Through his actions, patience, bravery and
discipline, he modeled the importance of morals,
values, education and dedication, which have directly
influenced my work ethic and life goals.�
