Brooke Sadowsky's Public Profile

About Me

A reformed thug from Poughkeepsie, New York, Brooke made the bizarre decision to attend college at North Carolina State University where she managed to get a decent education, stay sober, and not actually make any friends. Upon returning back home to New York, Brooke pursued a career in advertising, successfully climbing up the long corporate ladder within NY ad agencies, ending her ad agency career at Ogilvy & Mather before joining Rare. Having moved to Arlington, Virginia from New York in August 2007, Brooke often wonders "Where are all the people?" and "How is this place so clean?" When not disgruntled about the friendliness of the neighborhood, Brooke can be found boxing, listening to rap on her prized iTouch, and for the most part, working.

Educational Credentials

North Carolina State University - B.S. in Business Management/Marketing

I Knew I was a Conservationist When....

I decided that I was tired of "working for the man" and wanted to use my skills for good, not evil.
