Grace graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Brandeis University in 2026 where she triple-majored in Neuroscience, Biology, and Health: Science, Society, & Policy. There, she worked under Dr. Eve Marder to study how central pattern generators (CPGs), neuronal circuits involved in repetitive motions like walking or breathing, react to environmental stressors. 
Outside the lab, she is also the founder of Students For Science, a US-based group advocating for the interests of young people in science. She also enjoys dancing and choreographing.
