Brooke Capparelli (‘21) shares how her Rosary experience helped her in college and beyond
Brooke Capparelli (‘21) graduated from Washington University in St. Louis - Olin Business School in 2025 with a major in Marketing and minors in Business of Sports and Psychology.
 
She graduated magna cum laude and was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma international honor society for business students.
 
At WashU, Brooke was a member of the softball team, on the executive board of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), and part of the Zeta Upsilon chapter of Alpha Phi.
 
Since graduating, Brooke been interning for Paragon Marketing Group (recently acquired by PlayFly Sports) where she has been traveling the country representing brands such as Gatorade, Pepsi, and Uncrustables, while studying for the LSAT and preparing her law school applications. 
 
“Without my Rosary education, I don't know if I would be where I am today,” Brooke said. “In my time at Rosary, I was challenged academically and pushed to my fullest potential as a student, developing strong time management skills, great discipline, and attention to detail.
 
“As a student-athlete at WashU, I exercised these skills daily. The study and note-taking habits that I learned at Rosary carried seamlessly into my coursework at WashU, playing a key role in my academic success. Additionally, my involvement in clubs like National Honor Society, Math Team, and Senior Retreat Team at Rosary showed me the benefits of being engaged outside of the classroom, encouraging me to seek extracurricular opportunities at WashU,” she said.
 
“Overall, I am incredibly grateful for my Rosary education and the experiences that prepared me for college and for life after college.”
 
Congratulations, Brooke! We can’t wait to see what you do next!
