After graduating from high school with honors, Bridgette realized that the community college track was right for her and enrolled at what was then Central Florida Community College. She became involved on campus instantly by being elected as the Vice President of the Student Activities Board for both her Freshman and Sophomore years. Bridgette also served as the State Secretary of the Florida Junior Community College Student Government Association (FJCCSGA) for 2010-2011.
