No matter how gory or bloody or even smelly they may be, I just can’t seem to look away from the wound when a patient is in the room because it is so interesting to me!”  Grace is also part of Honors Work-Based Learning Afternoon Cohort where she has assumed the leadership position of working with Our Neighbor’s Place, Inc. in their community service initiative. She has helped to organize guest speakers, Christmas parties with the residents and food donations all to benefit this local organization.
