Breanna Wollman

Breanna’s parents grew up in a conservative Hutterian community where children typically did not attend school away from home. Breanna is the first in her family to attend high school and will be the first to attend college in the near future. In her leadership journey, she learned that kindness and determination contribute to her ability to raise awareness as a proactive community advocate. Breanna is the South Dakota State Champion in Original Oratory and a Public Speaking National Champion for Future Business Leaders of America. Outside of her studies, Breanna enjoys serving in the Student Senate and volunteering with the National Honor Society.

Breanna is most passionate about using her gifts in communication to interrupt and prevent gender-based discrimination and the stigma surrounding menstruation. She now holds the honorary title of the first ever Bezos Scholar selected from South Dakota! As a Scholar, she is, “proud of her ability to tell stories and hopes to create meaningful connections with others to design tangible solutions to the issues plaguing society today.”
