Brooke grew up in South Florida and has a long-time affinity for animals. She rescued two cats, Mittens and Spot, when she was 12 years old and also raised hamsters as a child. She even risked her life to save her neighbor’s dog when a nearby transformer exploded!
She adopted her first dog, a Jack Russell named Blake, when she was 21 and, the more she learned about caring for her new family member, the more her interest grew in veterinary medicine. She started taking Blake to a local veterinary clinic for four years, then started working at the clinic herself! While there, she attended the North American Veterinary Conference from 2008 to 2016 learning about such fields as cancer care, animal restraint, and animal behavior. For seven years, she was an assistant to an Internal Medicine specialist assisting with cancer treatments, heart evaluations, and ultrasounds. She enjoys the fast pace environment and the myriad of animals she encounters on a daily basis at Pets In Stitches.
She currently lives with her husband and two dogs, Blake and Roxy. She enjoys hiking and time outdoors with her dogs, riding motorcycles, and time with her family.
