Brenda Messer Beasley is a paramedic and a registered nurse. She earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama and Lorenz University, respectively, and also completed additional postgraduate studies. Following graduation from nursing school at the University of Alabama, Ms. Beasley was employed as a nurse (RN) in the emergency department of University Hospital in Birmingham. She remained in emergency nursing for the next 10 years, with a two-year hiatus when she became certified as a critical care neurosurgical nurse and worked in the NICU at Carraway Medical Center.

Ms. Beasley was working as an ER nurse in 1978 when she was asked to teach a basic EMT course. With a great deal of reticence yet strong encouragement from the chief of staff at the local hospital, she concurred. She immediately developed a passion for quality EMS education, and the rest, as they say, is history. For the next 30 years, she served as an EMS educator in the state of Alabama, and in 2001 was named Department Chair of Allied Health at Calhoun Community College in Decatur, Alabama. She held that position until her retirement in 2007.

Ms. Beasley was an affiliate faculty member of the American Heart Association's Emergency Cardiac Care Program for 25 years. Other professional activities include roles in the BTLS affiliate faculty and board of directors of the National Association of EMS Educators, and serving on the medical advisory boards of Tanner Medical System-East Alabama, Action Training Systems, and Southern Ambulance Transport.

In 1999, Ms. Beasley published her first book on EKG interpretation and has subsequently authored other texts for Brady/Pearson Health Science. She resides in Wedowee, Alabama (with her beloved pet, Kitty Boo), where she serves as vice chair of the local hospital board. Ms. Beasley is actively involved in the First United Methodist Church of Wedowee and has served as the Governance Committee Chair for the National Association of EMS Educators.

比斯利女士在1978年擔任急診室護士時，被邀請教授基礎的EMT課程。儘管她感到相當猶豫，但在當地醫院主任的強烈鼓勵下，她同意了。她立即對高品質的EMS教育產生了熱情，接下來的歷史便不言而喻。在接下來的30年中，她在阿拉巴馬州擔任EMS教育者，並於2001年被任命為德卡圖爾的卡爾霍恩社區學院的聯合健康系主任。她一直擔任該職位直到2007年退休。

比斯利女士是美國心臟協會急救心臟護理計劃的附屬教職成員，任職25年。其他專業活動包括在BTLS附屬教職和全國EMS教育者協會董事會的角色，以及擔任坦納醫療系統-東阿拉巴馬、行動訓練系統和南方救護運輸的醫療諮詢委員會成員。

1999年，比斯利女士出版了她的第一本有關心電圖解讀的書籍，隨後又為Brady/Pearson Health Science撰寫了其他書籍。她目前居住在阿拉巴馬州的韋多維（與她心愛的寵物Kitty Boo一起），並擔任當地醫院董事會的副主席。比斯利女士積極參與韋多維的第一聯合衛理公會，並曾擔任全國EMS教育者協會的治理委員會主席。
