Rebecca "Becky" Brooks

Becky Brooks is the UNMC College of Medicine student of the month.

Name: Becky (Rebecca) Brooks

Hometown: Lincoln 

Program/year: COM/M3

Education: Bachelor of Science in biochemistry from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Hobbies: I enjoy running, cross-stitching, reality TV (specifically, "The Bachelor" and "Real Housewives"), Harry Potter and attempting to cook with friends. 

What you do to stay balanced? I keep a daily gratitude journal to help focus on the positive. To stay physically active, I am attempting to run a half marathon in all 50 states and as a bonus get to visit friends and family. Most importantly, I drink a lot of coffee and eat dessert daily (favorite being a cupcake from Cupcake! Omaha). 

Three things people may not know about me:

  • I am a quarter Australian.
  • I lived in Waco, Texas (Home of "Fixer Upper") until I was 17. 
  • I did improv throughout college.
