Grace’s experience in leading multiple outreach programs focusing on environmental sustainability, specifically aquatic health issues, brings a suite of skills to address water quality challenges. At Earth Force, she promotes critical thinking and civic action by supporting programming.

I am a singer/songwriter. I also write children's books. I love the outdoors on lakes, land and skies. I volunteered on a tree planting for schools and wrote two songs: Trees Breathe Life and Pass These Gifts long. My Environmental Musical for schools was born from that experience.

I’m a strategy + change consultant operating through the lens of sustainability – environmental integrity, economic vitality, and social (and racial) equity. I partner with purpose-driven organizations and schools to create transformative systems change for greater social change.

I work from the heart to cultivate deep nature connection within myself and community. At Thorne Nature Experience, I manage our Evaluation, Inclusiveness, and Curriculum programs. I also manage our GOCO Inspire collective impact project in Lafayette, CO: Nature Kids/Jovenes de la Naturaleza.

I am the Kentucky Green and Healthy Schools Coordinator for KEEC. I am a certified Environmental Educator, a licensed KY Teacher, I hold an M.A.Ed. in School Counseling, and I am currently working on my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
