Brooke Ward will serve as a Strategic Communications Fellow with Road to Uni this Fall.
Brooke currently resides in her hometown of Fort Gratiot, Michigan. She completed her M.A. in International Human Rights with specializations in Human Trafficking and Gender-Based Violence from the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. Her academic research focused on the connections between gender-based violence before, during, and after conflict. In addition, she holds a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Grand Valley State University. Brooke hopes to apply her research findings through community-level outreach and advocacy related to domestic violence and sexual assault. She enjoys traveling, playing with her nephew and nieces, and cuddling her dogs. She also enjoys teaching English as a Second Language and supports organizations increasing access to education like Road to Uni, the fellowship organization she will be working with this fall. She looks forward to working as a Strategic Communications Associate and helping students with the college application process.
