Brooke Anne Bedingfield
Brooke Anne Bedingfieldย
Training and Development Assistant, Office of Human Resources
Background: I am a Kentucky native and completed my bachelor’s in psychology at the University of Kentucky in 2018. I then headed to Washington, D.C., to complete my master’s in organizational leadership and learning at George Washington University, and recently graduated in May 2021. I worked at the Department of Transportation’s Talent Development Division and then at GWU Athletics’ HR office as an administrative assistant before coming to CofC.
Interests: In my spare time I enjoy calling up my loved ones to catch up and share stories! I also can’t say no to a good TV binge/movie day. I love trying new experiences whether it be a different exercise place, exploring a new city, or learning to make a new cooking dish. I like to hike as well, I’ve been fortunate to explore some of the National Parks near Vegas where my family resides.
Looking Forward: I am most excited about working directly with people and fostering relationships with others. I think everyone is missing that human connection piece right now, and I am energized that, in this position, I will be able to assist others with their leadership capabilities. The community of CofC already has been extremely welcoming, so I look forward to being on campus!

Interests: I love spending time with my family; we love beach time, biking, playing tennis and reading. I enjoy watching sports (the Mets and Jets!), playing basketball and paddle boarding.
