    Brooke's commitment to education and her dedication to students are at the very core of her values and vision. Over the course of a decade, she brought her passion for teaching to Laguna Blanca School, where she not only excelled as the third grade teacher, but also served as a learning specialist. Her roots run deep at Laguna Blanca, as she is an esteemed alumna who was recognized in 2016 with the school's prestigious Faculty Excellence Award.

    With a Master’s in Education from the University of San Diego with a specialization in Universal Design for Learning, she advocates for individualization and differentiation for each child. Beyond her dedication to supporting and building programming around academic excellence, she values social-emotional learning in alignment with the school’s core values of character, scholarship, balance, and community.

    During her free time, you'll find Brooke in the pool, where she thrives as a competitive swimmer. She contributes her time and expertise to the Board of Directors for Santa Barbara Masters Swimming. She is also the proud parent of a college-aged daughter.
