She spearheaded the launch of its inclusive membership initiative to engage students of all majors and backgrounds for insurance careers, and championed a significant expansion of the organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy including ground-breaking diversity events and initiatives to equip HBCU, female, LGBTQ, Hispanic, and other students of a variety of underrepresented groups for success in the insurance industry. Grace’s commitment to transparency, authenticity, and collaboration has enabled the creation of industry-wide forums and roundtables including industry leaders, students, and faculty across North America. Her ability to build relationships across the industry has resulted in a revitalized governing model for the organization, energizing the organization’s Board of Trustees to further the mission of GIS. Her unwavering dedication to empowering the industry’s talent reflects internally as well, as she fosters a rejuvenated and positive culture for Gamma Iota Sigma employees, and positions the organization for transformative growth and future success.

She holds a Bachelor’s in Business Management with a pre-law concentration and economics minor from Wittenberg University, and pursued a Master of Education in Educational Leadership and Administration from Ashland University.
