Something You Don't Know About Me: My parents decided to name me Tybee because at the time, my dad was stationed in the army near there. My sister, Savannah, wanted to name me Tybee Island Denton, but they thought that would've been weird, so they named me Tybee Brooke. Another fun fact is that I have been to 47 out of the 50 states!
