 My name is Brooke Brasho, I'm from Aniston, Alabama, and I'm majoring in Civil Engineering and Mining and Architectural Engineering. When I was deciding where to go to school, I was definitely torn between some other options in state, and it really came down to the opportunities that I was going to have provided to me wherever I went, and at Alabama I just knew that I was going to have great scholarship opportunities, and also I would be pushed in every single aspect of my collegiate experience to just excel and go above and beyond in whatever I wanted to do. Creative Campus is an arts foundation here at the University, and I was a fellow for them for a year, and being involved in that gave me a lot of experience with event planning and just organizational skills. Through that, I started my own jewelry company called Brooke Brasho Designs, and Creative Campus just gave me so many skills to really hone in on how to be a business owner and an entrepreneur, and how to just be the best in that field that I wanted to be. I've accepted a job offer with Clark Construction, which is one of the top 10 general contracting firms in our nation, and I'm so excited to be working with them. I'll be a project engineer, that will mean I'll be working with the owners and the architects and all the subcontractors and managing everything. One of the great things about Alabama is that it is not completely in state. I just get to know people from all over the country and it has been wonderful for me.
