Brooke is physiotherapist and Australian Research Council Early Career Industry Fellow at the La Trobe University Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre. She completed her PhD in 2020 at the La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre under the supervision of Professor Kay Crossley, investigating the impact of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) on the lives of young adults (early osteoarthritis, symptoms and quality of life), and how potentially modifiable factors are associated with knee joint health changes over time. Her research program aims to prevent sports-related knee and head injuries, and reduce their burden, with a focus on women’s/girl’s Australian Football.
