She is a recent graduate of Duke University’s Master of Environmental Management program, where she specialized in coastal resilience, nature-based solutions, and sustainable finance. Born and raised in South Florida, Brooke’s passion for the ocean led her from coral restoration practitioner and scientific divemaster to strategist supporting early-stage BlueTech ventures. She serves as a Founder Success Associate with Seaworthy Collective through The Continuum, a NOAA-supported talent pipeline for the ocean economy, where she helps startups grow their networks, refine their strategies, and prepare for investment. Brooke also chairs the Coral Restoration Consortium’s Engineering & Innovation Working Group, where she leads stakeholder engagement, co-develops workshops, and is launching the Coral Solutions Hub to connect innovators with restoration practitioners. Through her firm, EMECO (Elzweig Management and Engineering Consulting), she consults with mission-aligned startups, NGOs, and coalitions to advance climate innovation and build the infrastructure to scale regenerative, investable ocean solutions.
