Then, after a few cameo roles in shows like Nashville, Bridgit seemed to step out of the spotlight.
It looked like she had left the limelight behind for good, but nobody could have predicted what she was actually getting up to.
Now we know that the Washington D.C native was focusing heavily on education; and she didn’t stop at a Bachelors or a Masters.
Bridgit was behind the scenes, achieving a PhD in MIT, a JD from Harvard Law School, and preparing to set up a brand new space business.
Expect the unexpected!
