Heather Brooke Biography

Heather Brooke is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on December 15, 1970 in Pennsylvania, United States.

According to The Scotsman, she briefly moved to England as a teenager, but returned to the United States when she was 15. She attended the University of Washington Department of Communication, where she graduated in 1992 with a double major degree in journalism and political science. While there, she wrote for the student newspaper, The Daily, covering news stories and acting as the paper’s sex columnist, writing with what she called a “feminist” slant.

Describing herself as “burnt out” from covering over 300 murders, Brooke took a break from journalism. When her mother died in a car accident in 1996, and her father moved back to England, she no longer had family in America and decided to relocate to the United Kingdom. She enrolled for a master’s in English literature at the University of Warwick, then moved to East London with her husband, where she took a job with the BBC as a copywriter. Boyd Tonkin wrote in 2010 that when she arrived in the UK she was immediately introduced to the “British disease”: “the overweening haughtinesss of bureaucratic jobsworths, and the deference of citizens.” She became a neighbourhood activist, describing local public officials as having a surprisingly hostile attitude compared to local governments in the United States.
