Grace (she/her) is a third-year student majoring in history and political science with minors in English and philosophy. In addition to her role at The Observer, you will probably see her giving a tour around campus or hosting a program for her residents. When she is not writing a paper (for literally any of her classes plus The Observer), you can find her either at the gym breaking the barbell bench record, watching "Psych" or "Gilmore Girls," or trying to figure out how to better color-code her Google calendar.
