This Memphis native knows a thing or two about the human experience. In the past 12 months alone, she’s visited seven countries stretching across two continents, lived on a Native American reservation and spent her winter break in Detroit tutoring middle schoolers. A self-proclaimed foodie, Brooke believes the best part of travel is searching out that Bourdain recommended place that only the locals know. Every place she visits has helped her pinpoint her own place in the world and the work she wants to create.

A Type-A to the bone, Brooke is a notoriously resourceful problem solver and multitasker. This past summer she interned for Hershey Entertainment and Resorts. In this role she worked on media relations, CSR audits and content creation for the company’s web and social platforms. Additionally, Brooke currently serves as the American Advertising Federation president, where she plans and leads biweekly club meetings and visits to agencies. She also claims Memphis barbecue to be superior to all others, but we’ll let you decide on that one.
