While at Kean, Brianna gained further experience in musicals, straight plays, television production, commercial work and was awarded a talent-based, full scholarship to The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. There she studied acting for the camera and continued to hone this skill through "cinematic sketch comedies," produced by Four's A Crowd Productions, of which she was a member. The Kean Theatre Conservatory honored Brianna with the Director's Award for "Maintaining a high level of rehearsal and performance technique" for their 2018-2019 season. They also awarded her the Lenore Vaughn Eames Award for "Three years of distinguished service to theatre" for their 2019-2020 season.
