Grace grew up in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia for the first 8 years of her life, and in the 3rd grade, she and her family moved to Paris, France. Living in France was one of the best experiences of her life and instilled a love of travel and a passion for meeting people from all over the world! She first attended Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts, which enabled her to participate in a fantastic study abroad program in the Netherlands. She then went on to finish her degree at Warren Wilson College and graduated with a BA in Psychology and Music. Outside of the classroom, Grace enjoys playing music, spending time with her dog and fiancé, and collecting plants.
