Andi Brooks
Andrea (Andi) Brooks returns to Mid-Missouri after seven years of
state-jumping during her playing days and early coaching career. Brooks
graduated from Hickman High School in Columbia, MO in 1999, before
accepting a scholarship to play basketball at the University of
Nebraska-Omaha. After two years, she transferred to Western State
College in Colorado to finish her playing days. There she graduated with
a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology, while also minoring in Art and English.
To begin her graduate career, Brooks reunited with Paula Buscher at
Bradley University, whom Brooks had played for at the University of
Nebraska-Omaha. Brooks’ first year at Bradley was served as an
administrative assistant before being promoted to assistant coach in
September of 2004. The following spring she received her Master’s Degree
in English before accepting a position at Quincy University as Assistant
Coach/Recruiting Coordinator. She served one year at Quincy before the
position at Central Methodist became available.
Andi married Mike Brooks, a native of Omaha, NE, in 2004.
