A senior in high school, Grace is secretary and treasurer of Minnetonka High School’s “She’s the First” chapter, a women’s education and empowerment organization. Last semester, her chapter fundraised for She’s the First Org through selling friendship bracelets to students and staff. Active in Vantage, an experiential learning and professional studies program, she collaborates on projects with local Minnesota businesses.

Enrolled in Spanish immersion since kindergarten, this fall marks her 13th year of studying Hispanic culture and speaking Spanish. In June of 2023, she studied abroad in Concepción, Chile at the Thomas Jefferson STEM school. Grace is a member of Minnetonka Theatre’s hair crew, working behind the scenes of shows such as Cabaret and The Rink.

A scooper and newly promoted shift leader at Ben & Jerry’s, she enjoys decorating ice cream cakes and taste-testing new flavors! She is a Sunday school teacher at Mount Calvary Church, where she is also involved in The Vine youth group. She volunteers with Days for Girls Chanhassen Team, which provides sustainable and reusable menstrual products for underprivileged women.

For fun, Grace loves to wakesurf on Lake Minnetonka, ski with her dad on their annual father-daughter trip, listen to Taylor Swift, cuddle with her cat Max, create jewelry, and host her growth mindset podcast; Guidance for the Girlies. Looking ahead, she hopes to earn a degree in entrepreneurship and open her own sustainably sourced women’s boutique.
