Brenda earned her degree in early childhood education and is an active member in her church teaching Sunday school.
Brenda was born and raised in Oklahoma, moving to Enid in 1990. She is married with four children, 3 boys and 1 girl. She also has 1 granddaughter. The three boys all went military right from high school and she is a blue star mom. Her daughter is in 4th grade at Lahoma.
Brenda has always liked to write and make up stories, but in high school she began to dream of being published. The dream stayed there but she let other things push it to the back burner.
Since being in Enid, she has been in the child care field and worked for Dr. Sloat, where she is currently employed. For five years she had a daycare in her home and during that time she attended school at Northern, Enid. One of the classes was a class for early childhood literature and she had to do project using childrens book. Brenda asked the teacher if she could get extra credit if she wrote her own childrens story. She wrote the story Jungle Friends for that class and presented it as a felt board story. The teacher encouraged Brenda to get the story published. It took several years but finally her dream became reality, when Tate Publishing, published her book.
