Assistant District Governor Billie Addleman suggested to one of his young law associates that she might look at the "morning" Rotary Club since she liked to start her day earlier. Billie brought Bridgette Gallagher to a Cheyenne Sunrise Rotary Club meeting and she liked what she saw. She is an associate at Hirst Applegate, where she has practiced law since 2013. Prior to joining Hirst Applegate, Bridgette was a law clerk in the Fifth Judicial District in Cody, Wyoming for the Honorable Steven Cranfill.

Bridgette received her undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. Currently, Bridgette's practice will include civil litigation, insurance defense, professional liability, employment law, oil & gas and energy law, and estate planning. Bridgette is an AmeriCorps Alumni.
