Brittney Feit

I was born in NYC, where I trained with Ellison Ballet. During that time, I attended the Professional Children’s School, which allowed me to complete high school with a flexible academic schedule. After graduating, I joined Tulsa Ballet, where I performed principal and soloist roles.

After retiring from Tulsa Ballet in 2014, I began my undergraduate studies at Columbia University, majoring in Nonfiction Creative Writing, where I was inducted into the honor society. During this time, I worked as a published dance critic for The Village Voice and became a registered yoga instructor. I also began teaching creative movement and children’s yoga, including at Tulsa Ballet’s Center for Dance Education and at an at-risk elementary school in Tulsa through The Harmony Project.

After graduating from Columbia, I worked as an editor at a niche publishing house and as a proofreader/consultant for a FinTech company. However, my interest in child development and education ultimately led me to pursue a career in school psychology. I earned an MSE in Preschool Child Psychology and an Advanced Certificate in School Psychology from Fordham University, and I am currently working toward my PhD. Most recently, I worked as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist at the Cooke School and Institute, and I now freelance as a school psychologist and consultant while completing my dissertation.
