Brooke Barrett

Founding Partner

Based on her extensive experience living and working in urban centers as far afield as Belfast and Sydney and domestically in Austin, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Newark, New York, and Washington, DC–among others— Brooke developed an interest and expertise in the intersection between education and community development. She has experience working with government, non-profit, and private entities and looks forward to continuing to find ways to develop partnerships among the three to benefit students and communities.
She founded Edutelligentsia because the demand for talent, analytics, strategic support and partnerships in the education sector at multiple levels and entry points wasn’t being met for many of the organizations and individuals she was working with, in her previous roles. When she’s not working with amazing partners to build a thriving education ecosystem, she’s out seeking good live music in small venues, hiking with (or chasing down) her dog, Scout, or SCUBA diving someplace warm.
