Portrait of Brooke

"Biola definitely prepared me for my career in marketing. I conducted class projects with live clients in both for-profit and non-profit sectors.

"And while my professors taught me how to research and do good work, they also taught me the vital role of prayer and the Holy Spirit in business."

– Brooke, Business Marketing
