Brianna Rapini is an online creator, educator, and social media personality known for being the co-creator of The Amoeba Sisters YouTube channel. Growing up, Brianna had always loved science, leading to her getting her degree and teaching license in biology. However, she found that many resources didn’t impact her students’ education. So, in 2013, she started The Amoeba Sisters with her sister Sarina to make biology easier to understand while still engaging students. Brianna has gone on to work with several schools to create curriculum content, making her and Sarina’s YouTube videos an effective learning resource. She currently lives in Dallas, Texas, and works at The Amoeba Sisters full-time.
