About the Author

Brenna Kenefsky, M.Ed. is the author and founder of What Makes Food Magic? A proud Texas A&M graduate, Brenna earned her bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s in Instruction and Curriculum. She began her career as a 2nd grade teacher before transitioning into growth strategy, but her passion for health and nutrition has always been at the center of her journey.

Originally on track to become a registered dietitian, Brenna saw firsthand in the classroom how much children’s eating habits impacted their focus, energy, and well-being. That experience sparked her dream of writing a children’s book that not only inspires kids to see food in a positive way but also equips parents with resources to create healthy homes.

Today, Brenna lives in Dallas, TX with her husband. She loves grocery shopping at Sprouts, daily walks, reformer Pilates, and exploring new places through travel. Newly married and hoping to start a family soon, she’s excited to continue building a “food explorer” household rooted in curiosity, joy, and nourishing choices.
