She works for The Well Project as the stakeholder liaison, representing the interests of women living with and affected by HIV in medical, research, policy, and advocacy spaces. Bridgette is a director at large for ANAC (the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care), and a sitting member of the board of directors for HIV & Aging Research Project-Palm Springs (HARP-PS). Her column in Positively Aware magazine is her unique and feminine take on life while navigating a positive HIV status.
