Summary
Brenda Carachure is an integral part of the OCAA bronze medalist women’s basketball team.
Born in Acapulco, Mexico, she’s been playing basketball since 16-years-old. Carachure said basketball helped her adapt to living in a new country when she moved to Canada in 2005. “It makes me so happy just playing the sport,” said Carachure. “And I always want to be good at what I do.”
Carachure has received a diploma in the crime scene investigations program and will be graduating from the Police Foundations program this year. Carachure said her career at Humber would not be the same without the wonderful people she’s met along the way.
“The people in Athletics are amazing, the coaches are mentors and getting to meet Doug Fox was a privilege,” said Carachure. “I don’t have a family here so they’ve become my family”.
