K. Wade Hooton
Director of Student Programs

Wade always wanted to be a politician. But after losing the class elections in the 6th grade he decided to pursue a different course and studied microbiology and business in college. Wade’s proudest moment was winning the coveted award for “Shiniest Car” in the Pinewood Derby.

Wade found his way to Operation Smile through the inspiration of friends and has discovered a home working with student volunteers who want to change the world.

Brittany Williams
Student Coordinator for U.S. South East Region

Born and raised in Virginia Beach, Va., Brittany is part beach-girl, part farm-girl. But don't let her sweet smile and innocent looks fool you. Not only is she an avid bowler and softball player, but she snowboards better than most guys. 

She is older than you think and is often mistaken as a high school student.
