Brenda has lived all over the world -- from California to Turkey to Japan -- so it's
no surprise that she is our international admissions counselor. After teaching English
as a second language for over 10 years, Brenda decided to switch to international
admissions. She enjoys receiving phone calls from all over the world and assisting
international students to find their academic and vocational passions.
Favorite thing about Portland: Portland has an amazing community of creative, forward-thinking people. Where else
would you find the Church of Elvis, cargo bike-based businesses, food carts and public
Tuba Christmas performances?
Favorite thing about Marylhurst: Marylhurst really fulfills its mission of embracing the uniqueness and dignity of
each person. I love the beauty of the campus -- and that I can hear frogs outside
my office window when it rains.
