Brooke Walker '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Brooke Janalyn Walker and I was born and raised in Sterling, Virginia. I aspire to complete college and study psychology.  I am also interested in biology.  I would describe myself as intelligent and very athletic.  My grades and transcript show that I put tremendous efforts toward my education.  My friends would describe me as team oriented and energetic, as I have participated in swimming since 2004 on organized teams.  I have also participated in gymnastics, volleyball (HS), and cross country (HS). My parents have exposed me to helping in the community by taking me to volunteer at a soup kitchen in DC.
I have developed some of my leadership skills by coaching swimming over the summer which I plan to continue throughout high school.  I am also involved in FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) and Best Buddies (mentoring kids with special needs) at school. 
I have been exposed to normal childhood activities, such as camping, skiing and mini bike riding. Many kids my age have not been introduced to flying, but I have in both planes and helicopters and have actually taken the controls.  My lifelong goal is to travel the world and use my degree in psychology and biology.
