Kendra Todd was hired by Donald Trump on national television at the conclusion of Season 3 of NBC's "The Apprentice" live at New York University on May 19, 2005. She was the first female candidate, and the youngest, to be hired on the US Apprentice.
Kendra is a native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, now living in Boynton Beach, Florida. Prior to becoming a Season 3 candidate she was a successful real estate broker from Boynton Beach, Florida. At the time the show was recorded and produced, Kendra was 26 years old.
Prior to becoming a real estate broker she had obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics from the University of Florida, founded a highly-respected lifestyle magazine based on South Florida, and used her media expertise as a founder of My House Real Estate, Inc., a firm specializing in real estate sales.
Until 2006, Kendra operated under the codename Agent 53 on a real-estate-investment radio talk show called "My House", which was a real-estate-based radio show on Clear Channel Radio.
Kendra chose to oversee the progress at Palm Beach Mansion at Palm Beach, Florida, rather than overseeing the production of the next Miss Universe Pageant. Her choice was based on how close it was to her family, but also how well it matched her real estate-oriented skillset. She was also a recap writer on NBC.com for the earlier episodes of The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. Kendra has recently authored a book, Risk and Grow Rich. She also recently appeared in an infomercial for Billy Blanks' new Tae-Bo exercise program, "Billy's Bootcamp: Elite".
Kendra is a judge for the Real Estate Apprentice Foundation - a grant program helping 5,000 newly licensed real estate agents every year to succeed in real estate.
