Brooke Martin is thrilled to call Middle Georgia her new home as a member of the 41 NBC news team. Born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Brooke's days in the country ended when she moved to center city Philadelphia to attend Temple University. At Temple, Brooke pursued her passion for the media by majoring in Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Mass Media, with a minor in Political Science.
A broadcasting career is a perfect fit for Brooke because she is committed to touching the lives of others in a meaningful way. That's why she interrupted her university studies for a year and moved to Mazatlan, Mexico where she worked with Youth With A Mission, a Christian missions organization. After returning to the United States, Brooke resumed her studies and honed her skills at WGAL-TV in Lancaster and KTVU-TV in San Francisco.
This is her first time living in the South, and Brooke is enthusiastic about Middle Georgia and its friendly people. When Brooke isn't working, she enjoys playing tennis, going to flea markets, and watching movies.
