ATLANTA - The Atlanta Dream announced the hiring of Brooklyn Cartwright as Director of Basketball Operations.

Cartwright, an Atlanta native, brings over seven years of experience at the Division-1 level as both an Assistant Basketball Coach and a Director of Basketball Operations.

"I am beyond thrilled to be joining the Atlanta Dream organization and get back to doing what I love at an elite level," Cartwright said. "I grew up attending Dream games every summer, so having the opportunity to become a part of this amazing organization is truly a dream come true. I would like to thank Coach Nicki Collen and the rest of the Atlanta Dream family for believing in my abilities and offering me a chance to work in service alongside the coaching staff and front office. I am so excited to get to work."

Most recently, Cartwright started her own business that coordinates travel arrangements and hotels for programs and organizations, focusing on collegiate women's basketball teams and tournament directors.

I am excited to welcome Brooklyn to our staff."
