BRENDA FURIGA

Brenda is the go-to in the WordWrite office, as she is overseer of all things administrative, human resources and financial management. Her duties are many, and she handles them all with a smile.

Brenda received her degree in business administration from Miami University of Ohio, and after a 13-year career in marketing with a variety of businesses in Cincinnati and Washington, D.C., she chose to stay at home to raise her two young daughters when the family relocated to Pittsburgh. Once the girls were school-age, she was an active volunteer at their school, in their church community and with the Girl Scouts. A natural caregiver, Brenda also supported three members of her husband's extended family who lived in Pittsburgh.

When she’s not busy keeping the WordWrite office running smoothly, Brenda leads first- and second-graders in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at St. John Neumann Church. She’s also a finance committee volunteer and a Eucharistic minister. You can often find Brenda on the phone listening to and encouraging her two adult daughters as they face challenges as working women today — fortunately, they’ve got a pretty good role model.
