When Brittni Colyer says, "I can build anything out of a can and a piece of floss," she's underselling herself. Considerably.

A first-generation Texas A&M Aggie—and still proudly the lone Aggie in an office full of Longhorns—Brittni’s creativity was evident early on. In fact, she was the only non-art major allowed into an advanced painting class reserved exclusively for visual arts students. Call it persuasive ability, raw talent, or both—either way, Brittni had it.

She learned to paint in oils from her grandfather, quickly moved on to mastering ceramics, designing tiles, mixed media, and even coloring books. Woodworking? She does that, too, crafting bookcases and desks from scratch. Her handiwork can be found throughout the office—a testament to her precision, creativity, and determination.

Why spend so many words on Brittni’s artistic endeavors? Because the intensity, innovation, and meticulousness required by her creative work directly define her approach as Director of Administration. Brittni doesn’t just keep the firm running smoothly; she builds the internal systems, refines workflows, and designs benefits programs that make Hopkins Centrich operate at its best.

When Brittni joined the firm, her immediate tasks were clear: write the employee manual and establish a 401(k) plan. Within six months, both were fully operational. Since then, she's streamlined internal processes, designed a PTO program, implemented best practices firm-wide, and earned her Certified Plan Sponsor Professional (CPSP) credential. Next on her list: her SHRM certification.

Before her current role, Brittni managed operations at another Houston-based firm with a heavy accounting focus, handling payroll, AP/AR, vendor negotiations, insurance analysis, and retirement planning. Her reputation for practicality, precision, and efficiency has made her indispensable everywhere she’s worked.

Outside the office, Brittni balances family life with her artistic pursuits, painting, firing tiles in her backyard kiln, and woodworking—each activity reflective of her personality and work ethic: practical, precise, and always creating something that endures.
