About Brooke:  Brooke is currently a product manager at a tech startup making the leap into dietetics. She is chasing her dream to become a leader in the field of dietetics. She formerly struggled with anorexia, bulimia, and body dysmorphia from the stress and pressure of being a competitive athlete. Now, she hopes to help those with eating disorders and body image issues to realize that food freedom is possible by bringing her first-hand experience to the space! She is currently completing prerequisites for the Future Education Model graduate program at University of New England and has set up her supervised experiential learning rotations in the Denver area.
