Brooke says her family's support, as well as her playing varsity basketball at 葫芦影业 and participating in student organizations, has inspired her to reach high and give her best.
鈥淚t鈥檚 made me desire a similar community in my future workplace.鈥

Her OC supervisors have allowed her to take the lead on some projects and split her time between the Communications and Finance departments so she can explore both interests. She鈥檚 writing stories, exploring communication tools, developing communication plans, modeling data, consolidating files, and automating data tools.
鈥淭hey allow me the creative freedom and guide me while I am here. I鈥檝e been involved in projects outside my job description because of the curiosity they encourage.鈥
