Bryana has a way of making people feel at home wherever she goes. 

Not just in her home, but in conversations, in everyday moments, and even with people she’s just met. She carries a natural warmth that makes others feel seen, welcomed, and comfortable almost instantly. Hospitality for Bryana isn’t limited to hosting a table, it’s how she shows up in the world. She meets people right where they are and has a gift for making them feel like they belong there.

Her faith didn’t always look like that though.

Bryana always knew about Jesus. She grew up with Christian values, believed in God, and understood faith from a distance, but for a long time it stayed more familiar than personal. It wasn’t until 2022 that everything began to shift. When she chose to be baptized again, this time out of personal conviction rather than expectation, it marked a turning point. Faith stopped being something she had been around and became something she was actively walking in.

From that moment, her relationship with God became real in a new way. She began opening Scripture on her own, not just hearing it through others, but wanting to know Him for herself. What followed was a growing awareness of God’s presence in everyday life. Through answered prayers, quiet moments of clarity, and things she can only describe as God showing up, her faith became steady, alive, and deeply personal.

Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bryana and her husband Santino moved to Arizona in 2021 where they are now raising their daughter and learning the joy and fun of family life together. Their two energetic Boxers keep life loud in the best way.

Bryana has a heart for people who feel like they are on the outside looking in when it comes to faith. She understands what it feels like to be close to church but distant from God, and she loves helping people discover what it means to truly walk with Him.

As Treasurer and a member of the Board of Directors for Table 12, Bryana helps steward the ministry with care, integrity, and purpose. She carries a deep desire to see people encounter Jesus in real, everyday moments and to help create spaces where anyone can feel like they belong, whether at a table, in a conversation, or simply in the middle of life.
