Madeline Brooks

Project Associate

Madeline Brooks joined Triangle in 2023 as a Project Associate with the Facilitation and Public Involvement team. She brings a background in community engagement, public outreach, and communications to Triangle, and looks forward to incorporating her varied previous experiences into her current projects. 

Madeline earned her Bachelors of Science degree in Marine Biology with minors in Aquatic & Fisheries Science, and Public Policy at the University of Washington. While in school, she worked closely with the College of the Environment to help first year students find their community utilizing social media outreach and facilitating College wide events through the Dean’s office. She additionally worked with the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance developing environmentally based policy briefs and acted as Editor-in-Chief of the College’s undergraduate research journal during her college career.  

Prior to joining Triangle, Madeline worked in Southern Resident Killer Whale research, specifically focusing on the impact vessels have on whale behavior. Her favorite part of this multi-year project was the public outreach and community involvement she took part in to engage community members and educate visitors to the San Juan Islands on safe boater practices around whales. Her passion for facilitating these discussions and using public policy guide, inform, and educate is evident in her work. 

Out of the office, Madeline enjoys spending time at weekly trivia, exploring the Seattle food scene with her partner, and reading through her ever-growing library.
