Gretchen Brooker

I am a detail-oriented Program Coordinator and Paralegal with experience in legal research, policy analysis, and curriculum development. I support a high-volume caseload of adoption matters, drafting legal documents and ensuring compliance with state regulations while coordinating with clients and courts. I hold an M.A. in French Studies from New York University (4.0 GPA), where I conducted award-winning archival research in France, strengthening my ability to synthesize complex information and communicate it clearly. In addition to my legal and academic work, I contributed to knowledge management at Velocity Global, where I analyzed financial data and translated it into accessible resources for internal teams, presenting insights to senior leadership. Fluent in French and experienced across legal, academic, and corporate environments, I bring strong analytical skills, adaptability, and a collaborative approach to roles at the intersection of law, policy, and research.
