She left the company in 1997 to start her own business with her husband working on fiber rebuild and maintenance for AT&T over the next 3 years.
In 2001, after AT&T sold to Comcast, Brenda returned to the company and focused on building her skill set and furthering her career in the telecommunications field. In 2007 she moved into the newly formed Commercial Business Services group capitalizing on bringing all her prior experiences together as a Construction Project Coordinator.

She graduated from the Comcast C.A.M.P mentor program, the Dale Carnegie Leadership Institute, multiple Comcast Leadership programs, WICT TechConnect, attended multiple SCTE and WICT Leadership conferences and is currently the SCTE President for the Mt. Rainier chapter.
The SCTE has helped Brenda to learn and grow in her ability to manage and lead large groups of people. In 2012 she joined the national SCTE Major grants foundation and Chapter support committees.
Brenda is very passionate about the SCTE and has worked with the current Board of Directors to help the Mt. Rainier Chapter grow and re-energize.
