Brie was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. She completed her undergraduate training at Oberlin College with a double major in biology and biochemistry. At Oberlin, she was a member of the Varsity Women’s tennis team. She then moved to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University where she earned her MD in 2016. Her research interests include endoscopic approaches to spinal neurosurgery and the use of intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Brie is an avid tennis player and golfer. She enjoys completing puzzles and taking long walks on the beach.
