Brenda is a seasoned Change and Communications Manager who works on large transformation projects involving large IT changes for organisations.
Brenda is passionate about working with people ensuring everyone involved or touched by these projects is provided with the communications and training in a format that is accessible to them.
Brenda ensures everybody of any ability can be a contributing part of the change. Brenda has a background in Human Resources and Project Management, skills which still come in handy in her work.
As well as her day job, Brenda also makes leggings with impact by collaborating with charities to bring about a design which means something for them and then donating back part of the sales to help the charities raise much needed funds.
Brenda works towards making this world more inclusive for everyone and is still learning ways to do this through educating herself and spending time with groups who are not always included or felt heard.
Brenda has won a Gold of Ausmumpreneur award for her Business in the Rising Star Category and 2ndplace in Pivoting a Business, has co-authored a book about the mistakes not to make when starting businesses and is about to start her second co-author stint with Tererai Trent (Oprah’s favourite author). Brenda also made the Australian Roller Derby Teams uniforms (for the women and the men) when they travelled to Barcelona in 2019 and won several medals! We know it was the uniforms that gave them the edge.
Brenda loves travel and with the new work from anywhere world is hoping to combine travel and work in the future. Brenda has a great sense of humour and adventure and will do almost anything to assist with publicity for a good cause or her leggings business. She says almost as sky diving and bungee jumping are off the table.
