Grace has a Masters degree in Interdisciplinary Health from Laurentian University, focused on global food sovereignty strategies and how those strategies might be applied in northern, rural, or remote Indigenous communities in Canada, which has informed some of her work assisting in course facilitation for food security focused field courses in Kenya at Dal AC. She has also received a post-graduate certificate in international development from Humber College as well as a Bachelors degree in Geography from Laurentian University. Her goal is to continue to develop the capacity of students to think globally and learn to operate in a professional manner internationally, and share with the community how they too can be internationally minded.
