Brooke Lysen

I am a recent graduate with a marketing degree in business administration from Washinton State University. I have passion for the maintenance of and recreation in the outdoors. Additionally, I am passionate about finding solutions to Seattle's housing crisis.

I spend much of my free time enjoying the arts, practicing yoga, and reading. I have an interest in furthering my involvement in these communities, particularly the yoga community. Yoga practice and the people I have met through it have been cornerstones for my personal development over the past couple years.

I have over five years of experience in customer service, ranging across multiple industries. My calm, organized, and kind demeanor has allowed me to create personal relationships with customers, while also finding solutions that work for them.
