OUR Faculty

Dr. Bridgette Brooks

Assistant Professor,

Dr. Brooks is dedicated to our community, volunteering at Buckhead Church and participating in a pre-dental mentorship program. She is also involved in the restaurant scene and runs an Atlanta-based food blog to prove it! Dr. Brooks and her husband are avid Atlanta United soccer fans, and when they’re not cheering on their team, they enjoy spending time with family and friends.
