Brenda is an Ohio native that moved to Fort Worth Texas at the age of 10. With a background in veterinary sciences, Brenda has a deep love for animals. She worked in a veterinary hospital for five years before leaving the workforce to homeschool her three children.

Brenda relocated to Tennessee ten years ago, and after twenty years of being a stay-at-home mom and raising three children, God placed a new calling on Brenda’s heart to serve hurting women.

Before coming to RSM, God had Brenda on a healing journey of her own stemming from trauma she experienced as a child. Brenda attributes this time in her life as the driving factor that helped equip her to serve survivors who are overcoming trauma.

In 2021, Brenda started volunteering at RSM. She starting building relationships with residents as she drove them to appointments, meetings, and other activities. That summer, she officially joined Team RSM as a residential coach.

In her time off, Brenda enjoys trying new restaurants with friends, photography, outdoor activities, hanging out with her kids, and walks with her two dogs.
