Andreea Brooks was looking for a part-time job when her husband saw that the previous tennis pro for Holley by the Sea was no longer employed at the recreation facility. Brooks has lived in HBTS for seven years and has not been a part of the tennis program even though she was a national tennis champion for Romania when she was only 14-years old. She was also the No. 1 player in singles at the University of West Florida three years in a row. Later, Brooks became an assistant tennis coach at UWF and was also an assistant pro at Pensacort in Pensacola.
