Brooke was recently named an “Outstanding Georgia Citizen” by the Secretary of State for her work with the Professional Licensing Boards Division of the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office. This award honors those who give exemplary service to their community and to the state of Georgia.

Brooke graduated from the Leadership Georgia Class of 2014. Each year, Leadership Georgia chooses a specialized program with a unique theme for the participants involved. The five-tiered theme for Leadership Georgia Class of 2014 focused on Georgia as a state of giving—giving from within, giving through military defense, giving through stewardship, giving through one’s legacy, and giving life to stories.

Leadership Georgia is one of the oldest and most successful leadership programs in the United States. It inspires to train and teach young leaders from all walks of life. The program aims for participant diversity including race, culture, age, gender, and more. Hundreds of citizens apply for a place in the Leadership Georgia program each year but only 60 applicants are chosen. After the Leadership Georgia program is finished, the participants are better equipped to lead their fellow citizens with respect and dignity.

Brooke received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Rhetoric from Georgia College & State University in 2007. She received her law degree from Mercer University and was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 2010. She is also admitted to practice in the following courts:

• Georgia Court of Appeals
• Georgia Supreme Court
• United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia
• United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
