Brooke is the Project Manager of the Lilydale District and Yarra Valley Education Plan. The Education Plan sees six local secondary schools come together to deliver a shared vision for greater educational outcomes, more pathways and opportunities and aspirations for their students. During her time in this role, Brooke has overseen the development and implementation of the Collaborative Indigenous Strategy; a commitment to provide First Nations students with a culturally inclusive education, in an environment where they feel safe to stand strong in their identity and to provide more opportunities to connect with culture while also providing pathway opportunities.

Brooke has 16 years teaching experience in the secondary sector and working with young people to excel in their education and achieve their aspirations has been her drive throughout her education career. Prior to moving into the Project Manger role, Brooke was the Curriculum Leader at Lilydale High School.
