Kara Brooks

Kara has always relished the written word. A recovering journalist, Kara is a writer who specializes in crafting compelling press releases and effective social media campaigns that fuel engagement, increase brand awareness, and drive leads. As VP of Brand & Growth, Kara oversees all sales and marketing for Crux.

Prior to joining Crux, she worked as a freelance copywriter, serving clients in the nonprofit, legal, and human resources fields. Her experience in the news business comprises everything from breaking news and crime to development and education. She has been published in USA Today, The Washington Post, The Sentinel newspapers, and The Montgomery County Gazette.

Hailing from the great state of Maryland, Kara is passionate about both crab cakes and football. When she isn’t crafting content, Kara can be found coffee crawling through Kansas City or at Bar K with her Goldendoodle, Roscoe.
