Brooke has always had an interest in the underwater world and loved visiting aquariums when she was a child. This allowed her up-close interactions with wildlife she did not encounter in her everyday life. As Brooke developed her increasing passion for wildlife and conservation, she embraced the challenges to learn Scuba Diving and quickly fell in love with experiencing these unique creatures in their natural environment. In spring 2024, Brooke will have earned her Master of Professional Science Degree in Wildlife Conservation and Management. She is a Divemaster Candidate and plans to complete this journey this summer. Brooke hopes to encourage conservation through her land and water adventures as well as to inspire people outside of their comfort zone to learn how serene the world is below the surface.
