About
Brenda started writing professionally at 18, contributing to print and web-based magazines. She experimented with a variety of niches including pets, healthcare, pregnancy, and college admissions before landing on WordPress and web development as a primary area of focus.
Since then, she’s contributed to countless websites and blogs, covering business and technology — and often the overlap between the two. You can find her work on sites like CNN Underscored Money, GoDaddy, Kinsta Hosting, Verpex Hosting, and Jetpack. She’s also ghostwritten for several top sites through The Blogsmith agency.
When not working, she’s spending time with her family (including two cats) and getting outside. She thrives in the garden and is likely trying to learn another instrument as you’re reading this.
