Meet Brianna Mueller, Fitness Lover & Future Doctor

I met Brianna at college orientation, the summer before our freshman year. We connected due to our similar interests in health sciences and both being from the Des Moines area. Little did we know, we would end up living on the same floor in our dorm building and share a lot of the same classes and activities. It has been such a blast getting closer to her since the start of college. Learn a little bit about this awesome girl and her plans for the future!
