Profile

Brooke is a dual US-Canadian citizen who was born in Los Angeles, California; raised in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia and Houston, Texas; and studied abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She understands first-hand how education can equip you for a global future.

Brooke received her bachelor’s summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in history, policy studies, and Spanish translation from Rice University. She graduated with the J. Venn Leeds Award for Excellence in Scholarship, awarded to Rice University seniors with the 10 highest cumulative GPAs.

As a Boren Fellow for the Defense Language and National Security Education (DLNSEO), Brooke studied abroad at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). She worked directly with the Buenos Aires City Legislature to pinpoint what led not-for-profit organizations to succeed or to fail as they interacted with the city government.

Brooke began her professional career by interviewing several White House chiefs-of-staff for the White House Transition Project, a non-partisan initiative that facilitated the transition between President William J. Clinton and President George W. Bush. Brooke later served as the executive writer for the director of Los Alamos National Laboratory. She was the director’s voice to a staff of 8,000 technical staff members, researchers, and professionals.

For the past two decades, Brooke has helped adults and students tell their stories in a personalized, persuasive, and achievement-focused way.
