Immersion Guest Instructor
Pronouns: She/Her
Brooke grew up exploring the woodlands, valley farms, sagebrush steppe, and salty shores of the Pacific Northwest. After earning a BA in Literature from the University of Washington, she developed a passion for the sea and spent years working for marine conservation organizations. After her attention shifted to life on land, she attended Alderleaf Wilderness College, where she earned certificates in Wilderness Skills Education and Ecology, Wildlife Track & Sign (Level III), and Permaculture Design. She then worked as the program coordinator of Alderleaf’s yearlong Advanced Wilderness Skills Program. In 2019, Brooke attended the Nature Connected Coaching program at Earth Based Institute. She is a former core instructor of The Immersion’s Year 2 program and is a graduate of the Nature Instructor Training program. She loves wandering the wilds with people who marvel at the same things she does – animal tracks, native plants, bird calls – and sharing curiosity about all we find.
