RRP: Brittney, can you share a little about your career and the ways you stay involved in the community?
Brittney: I currently serve as the Communications and Marketing Manager for the Montgomery Regional Airport. Beyond the professional side of my career, I’m passionate about community engagement. I enjoy involvement in initiatives that bring people together and support the growth of Montgomery. That might involve collaborating with local chambers and universities, helping to plan community events, or supporting programs that highlight the importance of economic development in our region.
Service and connection are important to me, so I also try to mentor young professionals whenever I can and support initiatives that uplift families and strengthen our community.
RRP: Tell us about your children.
Brittney: I have two wonderful children: my daughter, Bailey Rae Dabney, who is seven years old, and my son, Bryer Ray Dabney, who is 20 months old.
RRP: What has motherhood been like while balancing a career?
Brittney: Motherhood and being a working mom are among the most rewarding roles I’ve ever held. It requires balance, patience, and grace for yourself. There are days when my schedule is filled with meetings, events, and deadlines, but the most important moments always happen when I’m simply present with my children. Being a working mom has taught me how to prioritize what truly matters. My children get to see firsthand what dedication, leadership, and perseverance look like. I hope that example shows them that they can pursue their dreams while still valuing family and community.
RRP: What activities are your children involved in?
Brittney: My daughter has been involved in gymnastics since she was about 18 months old, and it has been wonderful watching her grow in confidence and discipline. She recently began learning the violin and is also involved with the Montgomery Chapter of Jack and Jill, which provides opportunities for leadership, cultural awareness, and community engagement. Though my son is still young at 20 months, he enjoys exploring the world and following his big sister’s lead.
RRP: What have your children taught you about parenting?
Brittney: Each of my children has their own personality, strengths, and perspective on the world. Parenting them has been one of the greatest teachers in my life. They constantly remind me to slow down, appreciate the little moments, and see life with curiosity and wonder. They’ve also taught me patience and resilience. Children have such a natural way of finding joy in the simplest moments, and being around that energy is a daily reminder of what really matters.
RRP: What values are non-negotiable in your home?
Brittney: Respect for others, integrity and honesty, kindness and compassion, faith and gratitude, and the importance of hard work and perseverance. I want my children to understand that character matters more than anything else.
RRP: What are some of the joys and challenges of motherhood?
Brittney: Watching my children grow and develop their own personalities is a joy. Every milestone—big or small—feels incredibly meaningful. The challenge is balancing all of the different roles you carry while still being fully present. But motherhood has taught me that perfection isn’t the goal. Being intentional, loving, and present is what truly matters.
RRP: What’s something unique about you that readers might find interesting?
Brittney: One unique thing about me is that I’m both a strategic communications professional and a creative entrepreneur. In my professional role, I enjoy building campaigns and creating community experiences that bring people together. At the same time, I have a passion for tablescaping and event styling, which allows me to express my creativity differently. Both parts of my life center around creating meaningful moments and bringing people together, which is something I truly value.
