Grace grew up in San Luis Obispo, California and has dreamed of working with wildlife since she was a kid. In high school, she had her first exposure to rehabilitation as a volunteer with a local wildlife rehab center. She graduated in May 2025 from Utah State University with a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Ecology and Management. Throughout college, she worked in several research labs, studying aquatic invertebrates, wetland plants, and bee behavior. Additionally, she worked at Zootah, a small zoo in Northern Utah, caring for a variety of species including iguanas, parrots, muntjacs, and pelicans. She will return to Utah State this fall to pursue a DVM degree in the hopes of becoming a wildlife veterinarian. She is excited to continue her journey of caring for wildlife as an intern at Wolf Hollow this summer!
