Summary

She spent much of her career in the arts, non-profit management, and professional graphic design, but her life took a new direction after her daughter Lucy was born with a rare genetic disorder. Lucy's medical complexities, including cerebral palsy and epilepsy, inspired Grace to step into the world of advocacy and support.
Grace is dedicated to finding new ways to support families like hers in navigating the challenges of caring for children with special healthcare needs. She is passionate about creating more inclusive spaces and expanding access to vital resources. Whether through policy changes, community initiatives, or everyday interactions, Grace is committed to creating meaningful change so all families feel understood and supported.
