 Brooke Cooley relocated to San Francisco from Florida in 2009 and moved here with 10 boxes and a make-it-happen attitude. She has a passion for education, writing, and food and living in San Francisco provides unique opportunities to incorporate these passions into her daily life. Brooke has been a natural entrepreneur from a very early age and has most recently been a part of the food cart revolution here in the Bay Area. She also loves quirky events and enjoys planning them almost as much as attending them. She enjoys traveling and most recently had the adventure of tent camping the eastern half the US with her two children while simultaneously writing about serendipity and how it changed her life in unexpected ways. San Francisco chose Brooke and she feels that it provides the perfect balance of everything she has ever loved about every place she has ever been - from fantastic food and wine to eclectic events and endless opportunities for community involvement and betterment. |
