    PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor - Scuba Diving since 2022

    Grace has always had a passion for the ocean. As a young kid she would watch ocean documentaries, and TV shows to learn all she could about the sea. When at the aquarium she would take it upon herself to name every fish, crustacean, and sea creature she could. This love of the sea only grew as she did. Her first experience on a reef was with Marine Lab institute in the Florida Keys in 2019. She got to snorkel through the reef and the mangrove trees. Learning all about the ecosystem and how we can protect it. This only sealed her passion for the sea. It wasn‘t long before Grace got her open water certification with Rainbow Reef in 2022. 

     

    Grace is originally a Colorado Native. She recently graduated from Colorado State University with a BFA dual concentration in Photography and Graphic Design. She loves to get her hands dirty, make and create. If there is a craft she probably has done it. She plans to learn about underwater photography and hopes to use it for ocean conversation.
