She is a member of the Dean's List, Alpha Lambda and Chi Sigma Alpha honor societies and is a Jacket Scholar. As a junior in 2011-12, she was honored at the 2011-12 Student-Athlete & Faculty Recognition Luncheon for having the Highest Grade Point Average on the women's golf team (3.94). Brooke also works as a student assistant in the Registrar's Office. She plans to attend law school following graduation.

2011-12 NOTES:   Brooke is playing her third season of varsity golf and is a member of one of the best NCAA Division III programs in the country. She ended her 2011 Fall season with the third best stroke average on the team at 86.63.

She tied for ninth individually at the 2011 OAC Tournament, including a career-low-tying round of 80 on the second day when BW came back from a 17-stroke deficit to win the title.
