Brooke Edwards
Passionate about space as long as she can remember, Brooke is a space science communicator, writer, citizen scientist, amateur astronomer, and analog astronaut. She is actively training herself for the day she gets the chance to fly into space. Brooke’s primary mission is to spread why space exploration matters; which she does through social media and her YouTube show “Woman In STEAM”.
Her personal journey and passion for the human aspect of space exploration is documented in her blog, A Brook(e) of Stars.
On Earth, Brooke loves to be in nature. Hiking, rock hunting, snow tubing, swimming, kayaking, and scuba diving are all some activities she enjoys when not working. Currently, Brooke is also pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in marketing.
