Brenda was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Her father emigrated to the United States, while her mother stayed in Guatemala to care for Brenda and her older sister. She has spent most of her life in the municipality of San José Pinula, in the department of Guatemala, where she began her academic journey in 2008 at E.O.R.M. No. 860 El Colorado.
In 2017, her mother left her in the care of her paternal grandparents, where Brenda continued her education. In August 2021, she reunited with her father and his wife. She completed her professional studies in 2022 at LIEC school, located in Santa Catarina Pinula, Guatemala.
In January 2024, Brenda moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the United States, where she currently lives with her father and his wife. Since July 2024, she has been attending The Literacy Alliance, where she takes English classes as part of TLA’s Project Connect program. It was through theses classes that she learned about theater orientation and later auditioned for the play Tomás and the Library Lady.
From the very first moment, Brenda was captivated by the experience, finding joy and curiosity in something she had always dreamed of as a child but never thought possible. Now, as part of the cast, she feels truly grateful for the opportunity, the experience, and the support she has received throughout the project.
Brenda is a dedicated and responsible person who approaches every project in her life with passion. In her free time, she enjoys writing, listening to music, and watching series with moving stories. Her favorite moments are spent playing with her dogs and enjoying quality time with her family in the United States. However, she deeply misses her family in Guatemala, especially her grandparents, mother, sister, uncles, and cousins, with whom she has shared many special memories.
You can see Brenda as Enriquetta in Tomás and The Library Lady, February 7-9!
