About Brooke Bastarache

I’m a small-town girl, living in a big city world!My mother loves to tell stories to anyone that will listen about how I used to play when I was a kid. She vividly describes how I would borrow her heels and sit down at our chunky old computer desk, my sole focus being how neatly I could stack papers and align my pens just right. It’s either that perfectionist story or the one where I would take an old, beat-up floral suitcase and hike down our driveway, waving at her as I headed off to my imaginary version of London.Growing up in a small New England town, I always yearned for the chaos of city life. Everything inside of me wants to hustle and succeed. While my interests are ever-changing, this desire remains the same. I am focused on personal growth now more than ever. Yet I also love to propel and support those around me. Setting others up for success is the ultimate high. The pride I feel when someone close to me is triumphant is indescribable. I will go out of my way to help others, especially those most deserving who give back that same type of encouragement. After all, where would we be without human kindness?For now, I am focused on obtaining my Series 66 to advance to the next chapter of my career. In my free time, I run the Girl Gang Book Club, intending to encourage socialization and networking among my Tampa Bay girl gang through books. I am also a member of the Tampa Bay Chamber Emerging Leaders program in hopes of growing my business mindset and network even further.Lastly, I am Secretary and a voting member of the Morning Star School Advisory Board, which brings me great joy. The Morning Star special education instructors, dedicated staff, board members, and parents all work together to provide a sensational education program that aids students with learning disabilities and related difficulties—something that has always been near and dear to my heart.If you would like to learn more about me or have any questions, please feel welcome to reach out and send me a message!
