Hey there! My name is Brooke, and I'm a recent college graduate currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Public Management from Johns Hopkins University. In undergrad, I was a student-athlete that majored in Political Science with a minor in English, graduating with a 3.65 cumulative GPA.

Being able to approach government from an objective standpoint is critical for students to learn how democracy works, and my training has prepared me for just that. Finally, I am a huge fan of finding humor in politics- to be honest, it's hard not to! Incorporating humor (when applicable) and real-time examples is key to grasping subject matter, and I love to be able to do both when discussing government.
I love swimming! I swam competitively for 17 years, and my specialties were distan
