Brooke Knappenberger
Brooke Knappenberger is the Editorial Fellow at Marie Claire, where she writes across the board from books and celebrities to fashion and beauty. As a pop culture junkie, Brooke obsessively consumes and writes about the latest movie releases, streaming TV shows, and celebrity scandals. Prior to joining the team, Brooke worked as a Lifestyle Reporter for The Sun US where she covered topics ranging from interior design and cleaning tips to fashion hacks and TikTok trends. She also wrote and edited for the movie and TV news site, Looper.com, and covered the latest celebrity happenings for NickiSwift.com. Brooke has a degree in Journalism from the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism. While attending Mizzou, she got her first taste of entertainment media when she began working as an entertainment reporter for Columbia, Missouri's MUTV, and eventually became head of the entertainment department. During that time, she worked at Vox Magazine as a digital editor and later as a print editor where she covered the town’s city life and food scene.
Brooke is a proud St. Louis native and is currently living in New York City. Outside of work, you can find her either jamming out to Drake, reading a Sarah J. Maas novel, or shamelessly online shopping.
