Bio
Grace is a second-year EPM student specializing in sustainable agriculture, with broader interests in land management, conservation, climate policy, community resilience, and data science. She earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism, with minors in English and environmental studies, from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and began her career in agricultural communications and environmental reporting. As an Executive Fellow in Sac State’s Capital Fellows Program, she joined the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), where she analyzed zero-emission vehicle market development and helped coordinate state agencies to secure federal climate funding for California. She stayed on as an Energy Analyst, addressing barriers to renewable energy projects and working with local governments to develop permitting resources. In 2026, Grace was an EDF Climate Corps fellow with Agri-Mark/Cabot Creamery Cooperative, where she helped develop the cooperative’s climate roadmap toward net zero for scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions. She also currently serves as EPM’s Program Assistant. After graduating in June 2027, she hopes to support healthy, resilient communities and the natural and working lands that sustain them. Grace loves hiking, skiing, camping, and being in nature, and serves as Outdoor Events Coordinator for the EPM Social Committee.
