From the backwoods of British Columbia to the busy streets of Tokyo, Brenda is as comfortable starting a campfire as she is navigating the largest city in the world. Her favourite award? One from the Tokyo Azabu Fire Department for putting out a street fire she discovered as a teenager.

Brenda always wanted to be a writer, and built her career as a copywriter, Creative Director and marketing lead. Her favourite job is the one she has right now; writing and working with her strongest supporter, her husband, Reuven. Her proudest moment was publishing her first book, Trading Pizza for Ramen.  When she’s not working, Brenda is snuggling with her rotund dog or bearded dragon, painting abstractly or baking for family and friends.

Brenda is a firm believer in the importance of multiculturalism and cultural diversity. Growing up as a Third Culture Kid, she believe it is important for children to grow and learn in an environment where all cultures are celebrated. It helps them with acceptance but also with their learning and experience.

She lives by the motto “You’ll never regret being kind” and believes a walk in the forest can solve writing blocks and dampened spirits. Honest, creative and kind, Brenda wants to make the world a little better for everyone around her.
