Brooklyn is a writer at heart and journalist by training who has worked for community newspapers in Alabama and Tennessee. She loves a good story and thinks good books are meant to be shared.
Brooklyn attended Auburn University (she could talk for hours about college football if you have the time), where she worked for the award-winning student newspaper and earned her degree in journalism.
After college, Brooklyn returned to Nashville, Tenn., where she grew up, and worked as a PR specialist and editor for a nonprofit publishing house.
A job opportunity in the Boston area brought her, along with her husband and a very playful 45-pound dog, to New England. Brooklyn is thrilled to be a part of the Patch community.
