Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Brendilynn is passionate about connecting with children—both in the classroom and through her writing. Whether teaching or writing a story, her heart has always been to reach and uplift.​

In 2020, during a time when the world slowed down, Brendilynn returned to her love of storytelling. She founded Rise Joy Press, her self-publishing imprint, with the mission to create books that inspire young readers—both in English and French.​

Outside of her work, she’s a proud wife, a devoted sister and daughter, and a woman who values time with family, music, learning, and nature. Most importantly, she is a follower of Christ Jesus, and it’s His light that guides her path in both teaching and writing.
