Britt won her first major pageant title, Miss Arkansas USA, in early 1982. She went on to win the title Miss USA in the nationally televised pageant held in Biloxi, Mississippi in May 1982. She was twenty years old at the time.

Britt went on to represent the United States in the Miss Universe pageant in Lima, Peru, in July of the same year. Her national costume was a Native American. In that pageant, she finished as fourth runner-up to Karen Dianne Baldwin of Canada.

Britt is the first Miss USA titleholder from Arkansas. After she won the title, no women from Arkansas placed in the pageant until Jessica Furrer's semi-finalist placement in 2005. Both women are members of Alpha Sigma Tau.

Since 2000, she has been a spiritual coach.

In 2023, she presented a TEDx, Unconditional Self-Love: A New Family Paradigm to carry on her message of helping families get off of the societal hamster wheel to thrive instead of simply survive.
