My Story
Located in Northern Virginia, I graduated from Old Dominion University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. My concentration was in Metalsmithing and Sculpture, and I minored in Art History and Research Methods.
I have eclectic passions including ancient history, culture, digital art, gaming, genealogy, photography, religion, and writing. I am efficient in time management, organized, and just as content working independently as I am with a group. These include valuable skills including excellent communication, empathy, and proficiency in condensing and simplifying information.
​
I love photography and editing photos just as much as I enjoy writing. I have some website-building experience with Wordpress.com and Wix.com.
​
My dream job would be to work for a museum creating webpages where people can see galleries of art, have virtual tours, and be able to learn about the artifacts they are seeing, and about what life was like during those times.
​
I love sharing the joy of discovery, and while COVID wrecked many social things, I think it helped push museums regarding limiting visitors and accessing information. I feel people should be able to see the art, learn, enjoy, share, and be filled with wonder, no matter where in the world they are.
​
Professionally, I have worked in retail, customer service, administration, information verification (credit reports, jobs, active military, and other documentation needed for loan processing as an assistant), loan closing including verification and sending wires, and customer service.
​
I am looking for full-time employment with good benefits, preferably remote.

Customer Compliments from Quest Diagnostics
"Brenna received kudos for being very patient and assisting a participant in cancelling an appointment for a physician order. Even though it wasn’t for us she spent the time with a stressed out patient and assisted in the cancellation through the automated system.​"

"She couldn’t rave enough about how wonderful Brenna was with providing her all the information she needed about her company’s program and how to get her husband set up, once he’s been added through the insurance. She felt she gained a lot of knowledge and expressed how easy Brenna made it all seem. She said she knew she could call back if she had any other questions, but really felt Brenna was so thorough she wouldn’t need to call back. She thanked us again for the great experience."
