Dr. Brenda J. Thiam is a passionate special educator of nearly 25 years. Her fondest memories are of teaching students who have autism. She is originally from North Carolina but chose to move to Hagerstown, by way of other cities, so that her family could have a better quality of life. Delegate Thiam comes from humble beginnings of being raised by a single mother of five children, no heat in her childhood home, and living in the projects during her high school years. She set high but attainable goals for herself because her mother required it. As a Delegate, Dr. Thiam is ready to work with and along side the Hagerstown Mayor, its City Council and its citizens as we all embark upon a prosperous, safe, and healthy future for Hagerstown. Delegate Thiam always puts the people of Hagerstown over political posturing
