Enid Goodman is a longtime employee of Bridgewood Farms, most recently serving as the Administrator and Human Resource Director. Originally from the beautiful state of North Carolina, Goodman moved to the Houston area after her husband’s military stint at Ft. Bragg. Afterwards they moved to Conroe as her husband, Mark, started his law enforcement career.

After getting settled, Goodman completed her internship at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Therapeutic Recreation. Being new to the area, she searched and found a small program named BJ’s Recreation Center and immediately started to volunteer and, before too long, was offered a paid position. Goodman felt love and purpose upon walking through the door but she still expected Bridgewood Farms to be only a stepping stone in her career. Instead, the feeling of helping the special needs population grew and continues to this day, and many clients have become a second family to her in addition to Mark and their son, James, a senior at Lake Creek High School.
