Brooke was born into senior living as her family owned and operated a community founded by her grandfather located in the Chicago suburbs. After graduating from Wheaton College (Illinois) where she obtained a degree in Photography, Graphic Design and Creative Writing, she joined her father and brother in the family business as the community’s Marketing Director. She continued to grow into an executive leadership role as a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator.
