After matriculating from high school, she enrolled at Michigan State College during the late-1980s, but had a bit of difficulty in looking for a job after graduating.

There was actually a lot of adjustment at the time, and she mentioned that she experienced obstacles as a newcomer; some of the older farmers especially were actually not used to the idea of having a female vet. She spent the next two decades working for doctor Pol and their rural clinic. Eventually, with her boss’s fame growing, the clinic was actually approached by television producers in hopes of creating a television show based on their daily endeavors. She joined the cast of the show which would become “The Incredible Dr. Pol”.

She mentioned at the start of the show that she enjoys working at Pol Veterinarian Services, and wants to stay for the foreseeable future. She appears in the show alongside Dr. Emily Thomas, who originally practiced at South Carolina.

While Dr. Brenda has been actually a constant presence on the show for the first 11 seasons, a lot of fans noticed that during the 12th season that she wasn’t a regular.
Her name continued to appear as a part of the credits, but she was actually noticeably absent for several episodes. Many brushed it off as something personal and maybe she was really off doing other business but the worst seemed to have been confirmed during the start of the 13th season.
She was really not present in any of the episodes, and it seems that she will no longer be returning to “The Incredible Dr. Pol”. No official announcement has been made as to why she is really gone or if she has already left for sure.

Some people believe she is really single and others state that she may like be just hiding her private life away from the cameras.
She is known to be one of the more private cast members of the show, preferring to keep the show professional, and suffice to say that no relationship has even been really hinted at.
One of the reasons why there is very limited information about her past and current endeavors is due to the lack of any online presence.
