<h2>Early Life and Background</h2>
Brooke Lyons was born on November 8, 1980, in Washington, D.C., to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_R._Lyons">James Lyons</a>, a surgeon, and Penny A. Sousa, a dancer. She is of Irish, Italian, and Portuguese descent. Lyons was raised in the towns around Fairfield and New Haven, Connecticut, and spent much of her upbringing training to become a ballet dancer.

<h2>Overcoming Scoliosis</h2>
During her early years, Brooke was a dedicated <a href="/biography/brooke-lyons">ballet student</a> who trained at institutions such as the Joffrey Ballet School, Boston Ballet, and the New England Ballet School. She also traveled to France to further refine her skills. However, her aspirations of becoming a professional dancer were impacted by a diagnosis of scoliosis—a curvature of the spine—during her adolescence.
In ninth grade, Brooke was required to wear a back brace, but her condition eventually necessitated spinal surgery. Despite these challenges, she transformed her experience into an advocacy platform, founding the Connecticut Scoliosis Association while attending Yale University. Her personal experiences also became the foundation of her book, Ascending the Curve, which details her journey with scoliosis.

<h2>Academic Pursuits</h2>
After completing high school, Brooke enrolled at Yale University, where she earned a degree in English literature. During her time at Yale, she balanced academics with creative interests and became a member of the Arts & Letters Manuscript Society. Her background in literature and advocacy helped shape her storytelling skills, which would prove valuable in her future acting and writing careers.
