BROOKE SMALLEY
After a short-term trip to Panama at the age of fifteen, Brooke was fairly convinced that God was calling her to long-term missions. She traveled frequently throughout high school and college, including spending a semester in Africa. After graduating from Goshen College with a degree in nursing, she moved to Carmel, IN, to work as a pediatric nurse at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, becoming deeply involved in her church and work.
In January 2010, after a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, Brooke responded to a need for medical personnel on a week-long trip with her church. That experience sparked a deep passion for the Haitian people, leading her to make frequent return trips over the next year. Recognizing God’s call to leave her comfort zone in Indiana, Brooke moved to Haiti in September 2011 to serve as a registered nurse with NVM.
2022 brought on political instability and conditions that the NVM board deemed critically unsafe for American staff to be on the ground, Brooke moved stateside and took over the Child Sponsorship Director position. She also continues to work as a liaison with the clinic staff in Haiti..
