“With the implementation of the PMO office, Peoples Health was able to establish six new clinics and achieve a Five Star rating within the targeted two-year timeframe. This was in great measure due to the coordination and leadership of the project management team led by PMO manager Brenda Lee Hernandez.”

"Brenda did an excellent job with the preparation and direction of the efforts for the conference/panel on the topic of Establishing Independent Consulting Practice in Project Management. The topic was well developed from three different point of views; Construction Business, Information System and Marketing Management. She selected the panelists for each of the areas being herself one of the panelists in the area of marketing management. The information provided by the panelist was very useful for the participants. With this, Brenda and the other panelist demonstrated their commitment with the project management profession, not only in their area of expertise and their jobs, but beyond their own area."

Ever patient and dedicated she spent one summer with me coaching on my journey to become PMP certified. She is an amazing coach, friend, and mentor. I am forever grateful for the chance to have met Brenda and for the knowledge she imparted during our mentorship program.”

The lessons I learned from her help me be a more efficient team member and directly contribute to the success of a project."
