Brooke began writing just like everyone else; essays and book reports in the many schools she attended as a youngster. But, her teachers would frequently question if she was really the one that was doing the writing. After dozens of parent-teacher conferences, she began to think that all the attention around her writing might be worth a second thought. Halfway through high school she had decided on a career as a writer. Mom wasn't excited, to say the least.

She stuck to her plan and graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in advertising. During the past eight years, she has gained experience as a copywriter in advertising agencies and at a consulting firm where she worked on brand-strengthening campaigns for clients like Sony and Nike. She has a knack for really digging in and understanding the problems and goals of each client she works with, and loves bringing projects from the early concepting stages through to the final deliverable.

When she's not pounding the keys or scribbling in notebooks, she can be found helping furry friends find food and families. She also loves to find bartenders that can make a proper vodka martini, venues that showcase off-the-radar live music and crispy late-night french fries - the saltier the better.
