Grace
Carpenter

Grace is a lifelong coastside local, and graduate of Half Moon Bay High School, where she was a cheerleader and active community member. She recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara, where she received a B.S. in Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology, and a B.A. in Economics. Her orthogonal studies have allowed her to specialize in systems of limited resources, and her collegiate internships have led her to pursue a career in biotechnology.

Grace is passionate about working with students and young people. She first began tutoring in math and science in her early high school years, and continued to mentor young people in college, as a Peer Intern for her school’s Alcohol & Drug Program, and as the Residential Lead of UCSB’s pilot recovery-supportive housing program.

In her free time, Grace loves painting, watching old movies, reading, and walking her dogs, Bruin and Mabel.
