Brooke Turner, a Georgia native with a nomadic childhood, found her passion for politics through family discussions and the influence of her father and grandmother, both involved in politics during the '90s and early 2000s.
Originally aspiring to be a doctor, Brooke shifted towards political science after a lightbulb moment during college applications, guided by her grandmother's suggestion. Joining Governor Kemp's campaign in 2018, she seamlessly transitioned into political work and later added communications to her academic pursuits.
Her journey includes internships, a focus on education policy at the Governor's Office of Student Achievement, and a full-time role at Marksburg and Middleton, solidifying her commitment to the political landscape. When asked what surprised her when she started working in her field, she remarked on the notable level of collaboration among everyone.
What would Brooke do if she was the Governor?
What does quality-based education mean to her?
Does she consider herself an extrovert?
Let's join Brooke's personal journey and more in this episode of State Lobbying Heroes!
