Brooke Swain brings a dynamic blend of energy, empathy, and dedication to her role as an Admissions Advisor at the College of Pharmacy. With four years of experience at the University, she has become a familiar and trusted presence, known for her commitment to fostering meaningful connections across campus.

In addition to her work in admissions, Brooke serves as an Organizational Representative on the Staff Council and of the Human Resources Committee. Her involvement reflects a genuine interest in understanding the values that shape the college and in strengthening relationships throughout the institution.

Outside the office, Brooke’s creativity finds expression through dance. She teaches at Extensions Dance Academy in Mt. Vernon, where she shares her love for lyrical dance with students of all ages. Her background also includes instruction in jazz, conditioning, and ballet. Dance has been a part of her life since she was young. She loves passing that passion on to the next generation. 

Her approach to life emphasizes balance and joy. A perfect day for Brooke might include a morning walk with her husband, time for reading and light cleaning, followed by an evening out with close friends and a cozy movie night to end the day. Her ideal superpower? The ability to bend time—just enough to make room for more coffee, dance, and quality moments with loved ones.
