Luis Funes
I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Brenda. I had the pleasure to take many classes with Brenda during our Bachelor Degree, Chemical Engineering, in Guatemala. And of course, we worked on many projects together in the course of this phase of our lives. She has excellent communication skills and more importantly a highly developed emotional intelligence. Brenda is always willing to help when you need it. We have known each other for over thirteen (13) years now and I guarantee you that no matter how tense a situation (personal or professional) is for her, Brenda makes sure to face anything with a smile upon her face and also makes sure to put a smile upon everyone’s else face. I love her positive attitude and she is my go-to person when I need advice, Brenda definitely earns my highest recommendation.
