Bio
Brenda McDonnell knew at an early age that she was destined to help people. Her grandfather was a volunteer firefighter and paramedic and would bring her first aid books showing how to stop bleeding, splint injured limbs and dress wounds. The fascination with healing never diminished. Brenda began her nursing career in 2007 working primarily with cardiac patients. She became board-certified as an adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner in 2020. She also holds certifications as a geriatric resource nurse and a progressive care nurse.
Brenda graduated Cum Laude with her bachelor’s degree in nursing from The University of Texas at Arlington. She also earned her master’s degree in nursing from UT Arlington. Her favorite thing about caring for others is being able to educate her patients in a way that makes for “lightbulb” moments not only for her patients, but for her as well. That is when Brenda knows she has truly connected with the patient and can walk with them on their intended health journey. Her focus on wellness and disease prevention has spurred her to also serve for many years as a cardiac rehab yoga instructor in her free time. Brenda is a member of the American Association of Critical Care Nurses.
