Brooke Gerle
Mapping Technician
Brooke grew up in southeastern Saskatchewan where flat landscapes and wide-open spaces made for optimal wildlife viewing. After spending time living in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, her passion for wildlife and the environment grew and she completed a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Dalhousie University. After working in wildlife rehabilitation, Brooke returned to school to complete a post-graduate certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Her goal is to use map production and spatial analysis to aid in the protection of wildlife and ecosystems.
Brooke uses GIS to support multiple Raincoast programs and projects. Now living in British Columbia, Brooke spends her free time watching birds and other wildlife, exploring the local hiking trails, and spending time with her cat and foster dog.
