Raised in Seattle, Washington, USA, Brittany graduated from MIT with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Brittany’s vision and compassionate heart for service immediately propelled her into intercultural non-profit work. There—with her capable, detail-oriented and organized nature—she gathered rich and textured experience in non-profit management and leadership.

Brittany’s service with EMI began years later in 2010 as an intern with EMI Uganda where she also served as staff from 2011 until 2017. Today, Brittany serves with the EMI Global office as the Deputy Director of Human Resources.

Brittany’s outstanding organizational skills, and highly capable management savvy, have clearly left their mark upon EMI. Yet those working closely with her have also come to cherish an invaluably thoughtful and compassionate presence alongside her understated passion and fortitude for serving people.

Thank you, Brittany, for 10+ years of very fruitful service to EMI and for your compassionate spirit! We are grateful for you!

Steve Ulrich’s architecture career began in Canada, including fifteen years in private practice. On a YWAM missions trip with his family in the Philippines, Steve received an undeniable call from God to serve Him by combining missions and architecture. He found the answer to this call at EMI, joining the EMI team in Colorado in 2000.

In 2002, Steve and his family returned to Canada, where Steve founded the EMI Canada office, serving as Executive Director until 2010. Since then, he’s continued to serve as a project leader and worn many other hats in the Canada office, including an instrumental role in our intern program.

Steve’s extensive experience (he’s been a part of more than 40 projects worldwide), and his passion for EMI’s work and for people, have made him an effective ambassador for EMI wherever he goes. He and his wife, Barb, enjoy life in Calgary, close to their children and four grandchildren.

Thank you, Steve, for 20 years of faithful and fruitful service!
