Brenda Yesenia Varela, FNP

Brenda Varela is a certified family nurse practitioner and advanced oncology certified nurse practitioner passionate about cancer care.
Brenda uses her experience as a career nurse for the last two decades and as a former Bakersfield College clinical faculty member to educate and passionately advocate for her patients.
She treats adults 18 and older, and provides a range of cancer services, including genomic risk assessment and counseling and breast cancer care. She is bilingual in English and Spanish.
