Stephanie Brigham | LGT Class of 2025
Compiled by LAUREN JURGENSEN | Photos by BRIAN PETERS
What was your first job as an adult and what did you learn from it?
I worked at Walgreens in the cosmetics department before moving on to inventory management and managing shifts. It taught me how to be adaptable, how to provide good customer experiences — even if the situation is difficult — and how much of a difference the people you work with in any job can make.
If you could have coffee with anyone in Topeka, who would it be and what would you ask them?
Anyone who I could help with a problem or just lend an ear to let them work through something they’re going through.
What are you doing to make Topeka a stronger community?
I have served as a board member and officer for the Ronald McDonald House of Northeast Kansas in Topeka going on my fifth year now. I’m coming up on my seventh year of serving on the planning committee for the annual Couture for Cancer event supporting the American Cancer Society.
What is your favorite locally owned business?
Wings Etc. I love their green bean fries.
If tomorrow was your last day, how would you spend the next 24 hours?
I’d want to spend a warm day in the sun with my two pups and my family.
