She spent three years on the roster of Amy Poehler’s Upright Citizens Brigade and played a serial killer on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

At the corner of the arts and wellness, Brooke is a certified Rainbowdance practitioner, which is a sound, movement, and music-based early childhood intervention from the direct artistic lineage of Isadora Duncan for children who missed critical learning windows.
Brooke loves to eat. She's lived in eight countries, eaten street food and at Michelin star restaurants, and her favorite food is still the food her Italian American grandmothers made while she was growing up in Connecticut (the most Italian state in the union).
The Team
Husband
Scott
I have the best partner. I wish I could clone him for everyone because it's rough out there. Something special about our marriage is how easy it is. Not that everything is easy, but the us part of it is.
Young Kids
Clara & Russo
It's a shame Clara is so shy. Her personality is so small. (NO)
We don't know what Russo is like yet because he is still a potato.
Old Dogs
Fenny & Buddy
Buddy loves laps and food. He is just happy to be here.
Fenny is the sheriff in town. It's Fenny's world, we all just live in it (if she lets us).
