She has committed her life and invested over fifteen years in active engagement and research to keep an attentive ear to what this generation wants for their future, and the complex challenges they face.
Brenda honed her leadership skills in a well-rounded career in the worlds of media, higher education, international missions, and politics. She was honored to serve a three year political appointment at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in Washington, D.C. She left the presidential administration to pursue her life mission:equipping young careerists to live meaningful and influential lives.
