Brooke Knappenberger

Brooke Knappenberger is the Associate Commerce Editor at Marie Claire, where she specializes in crafting shopping stories—from sales content to buying guides that span every vertical on the site. Known as a "shopaholic" amongst her friends and family, she uses her expertise and interviews industry experts to find the best deals across the internet. She also oversees holiday coverage with an emphasis on gifting guides as well as Power Pick, our monthly column on the items that power the lives of MC’s editors. She also tackled shopping content as Marie Claire's Editorial Fellow prior to her role as Associate Commerce Editor.

Prior to joining the team, Brooke worked as a Lifestyle Reporter for The Sun US where she covered topics ranging from interior design and cleaning tips to fashion hacks and TikTok trends. She also wrote and edited for the movie and TV news site, Looper.com, and covered the latest celebrity happenings for NickiSwift.com. Brooke has a degree in Journalism from the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism. While attending Mizzou, she got her first taste of entertainment media when she began working as an entertainment reporter for Columbia, Missouri's MUTV, and eventually became head of the entertainment department. During that time, she worked at Vox Magazine as a digital editor and later as a print editor where she covered the town’s city life and food scene.

Brooke is a proud St. Louis native and is currently living in New York City. Outside of work, you can find her either jamming out to Drake, reading a Sarah J. Maas novel, or building out her online shopping carts.
