Brooke earned a Ph.D. in Botany from Colorado State University, where she studied floral morphology and evolution in the genus Phlox (Polemoniaceae) and the impacts of native and invasive ant-plant interactions. She joined BRIT in 2007 and worked with the Herbarium and Press departments before settling back into Research. Brooke is currently studying the biogeography of Texas ferns and lycophytes, the sustainable benefits and long-term viability of BRIT’s living roof, and plant succession relative to shifting cultivation practices in Southeast Asia.
