Brenda was born in Ohio, and then at 10 years of age moved to Fort Worth Texas. She grew up most of her life there, graduated high school and married not long after. Brenda worked in a veterinarian hospital for 5yrs, then she quit working to raise a family and homeschool her three children.

There was a 20-year span before she would come to RSM. During that time, God had her on a journey of healing of her own childhood trauma, and found that her healing journey helped to equip her for helping hurting women who are walking through their trauma.

In 2015, she and her family moved to Hendersonville, TN, and started volunteering at RSM in the spring of 2021. Brenda drove residents to appointments, meetings, and other activities, forming relationships with the women. That summer, she was hired to be officially part of the team as Residential Coach.

In her time off, Brenda enjoys trying new restaurants with friends, photography, the outdoors, hanging out with her kids, and walks with her dog.
