Communications Coordinator

Grace is a rising senior double majoring in Environmental Studies and French and a prospective Yale Journalism Scholar. She is from New Orleans, and is passionate about leveraging storytelling and education as tools for conservation. Grace is also passionate about food systems and aquaculture, and she supports bottom-up conservation efforts that allow coastal communities to harvest sustainably and healthfully from the sea, as is their right. She is a 2022-2024 NOAA Hollings Scholar and will spend the summer analyzing how aquaculture gear affects fish behavior in the Long Island Sound. She will also do conservation reporting in Hawaii, which she has done for the past two summers—as a 2022 YPCCC x Pulitzer Center Climate Reporting Fellow and thanks to the Yale Sustainable Food Program’s Global Food Fellowship, the Center for International and Professional Experience’s Summer Journalism Fellowship, the Yale Law School’s Law, Ethics & Animals Student Grant, the Benjamin Franklin Richter Fellowship, and the Yale Environmental Humanities Program Student Grant.

Grace has also worked in the carbon offset industry. On campus, Grace is involved with the Yale Sustainable Food Program, the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, the Conservation Finance Network, and the Fellowships Office. She is excited to be a peer mentor—come any and all with questions, comments, so forth!
