My name’s Brenna and I’ve been with Service Canada since 2020. I started off in the EI call centre and moved to ISB at the end of 2021 as a Program Services Officer. Outside of work, I spend my days with my fur babies and playing online games (World of Warcraft being my favourite). Most importantly, I’m passionate about workers’ rights and helping those who are in need no matter the circumstance.

I joined the Federal government in July 2020 and then joined the Integrity department in March of 2022. During my time away from work, I love the outdoor life, such as skiing, hiking, camping, and portaging. But I do enjoy the indoor life as well with board games, online games, and Lego building. I do love to listen and play music. But, more importantly, I am fervent on helping others in need.
