Brooke Steinbock, recently appointed Director of Member Services, joined the Portland Chapter of PMI in 2021. Brooke moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2006 and fell in love with it (yes, even the rain!). She is passionate about lifelong learning and constantly seeking new challenges and experiences. Most days you can catch her running around the waterfront or dining at local restaurants. Someday soon (as the pandemic eases) she hopes she and her new husband can finally take their honeymoon to Patagonia, South America.
