One of my biggest challenges was coming into myself and trusting that I have what it takes...I just had to believe it.
About Brooke
- Attended Loyola Marymount University (LMU) where I received my bachelor’s degree in screenwriting.
- While still in college, I started interning very early and built up some valuable connections, which led to my first job at the William Morris Endeavor talent agency.
- I then went to work for the Gersh Agency as an agent trainee, but eventually realized that working at talent agencies wasn’t for me.
- Transitioned into working in television development for CBS, where I worked with screenwriters and executives to help bring their scripts to life.
- In 2012, I got laid off—this allowed me to do some soul-searching, and helped me discover that I wanted to do more and that my true passion was in social impact.
- Began working in donor relations and community outreach, analyzing and reporting market research and trends around millennial donation habits, and encouraging them to give back at their level.
- In 2014, I started Charity Girl Problems, a website designed to empower people to find their philanthropic style by sharing the stories behind popular brands, organizations, and social movements.
- I now work as the associate director of development for the School of Film + Television at me alma mater, Loyola Marymount University.
