My story.

I live outside of Ivanhoe, Texas with my husband and two sons on a small farm. I enjoy spending time with my family, kayaking, hiking, fishing and working with my animals. I have been a nurse since 2007. My nursing background is long-term care facility, WIC supervisor, immunization specialized/coordinator, and children's home health. I feel so blessed to be able to work with the students at Ector ISD. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at 903-961-2355 or brenda@ectorisdonline.org.
