About Brooke m. Westlake
Back to Basics: Excellence in Education
One of the biggest little jobs in the world is shaping our children.
My passion for education began when I was a young child, before my family and I relocated to Reno, Nevada in 1989. I grew up across the street from News Channel 4 on Vassar Street right in the heart of Reno. I attended Roger Corbett, Vaughn Middle School, Wooster High School, TMCC & UNR. Throughout my formal education I won numerous art awards, sales awards and community awards.
I'm a first-generation college graduate with three degrees. My deep passion, commitment, loyalty, and dedication to my community have been at the forefront of my career, volunteer work, philanthropy and entrepreneurship. Together we can lift our schools up by having meaningful discussions on what is and isn't working. I've been a champion of parents, students and teachers for over the past two decades. I am also a proud boy mom of my two sons who attend school in the district.
My vision includes consistent input from our community as they are the ones who elect individuals to represent them to have their voices heard. I believe parental rights must be restored. I believe we have failed to have thriving students within the schools and post-graduation. We need to strengthen and support teachers who focus is on students' educational outcomes. Nevada and WCSD continue ranking low in test scores, enrolment rates, and graduation rates. That problem will only bleed into our future within our very own community. My advocacy is the front-line for parents, students, and teachers. I hope to earn your vote for this fundamental, important, leadership position. It truly takes a village to raise a child.

This is a small part of my story and my many accomplishments. I'm not a "hurry up and wait" kind of person. I am a "let's talk, roll up our sleeves and get things done" kind of person. It's time to help our parents, teachers and students as they pave the way for the future of our amazing community and it starts with our children's education.
