Brooklyn lost her parents a few years ago and is now in the care of the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP), living with a resource family with whom she has a close relationship. She also has a sister in a nearby foster home, allowing them to spend time together. As a motivated and kind young lady entering her senior year of high school, Brooklyn is excited about college and hopes to follow her sister's path by earning a degree in Education from Rowan University to teach preschool. In her free time, Brooklyn plays the xylophone in her high school marching band, enjoys recreational tennis, is interested in dirt biking, and loves swimming and going to carnivals in the summer.
