Grace
Bigelow-Leth

Grace is a Half Moon Bay local, having lived on the coast her whole life. In 2023, Grace graduated as salutatorian of Half Moon Bay High School and currently attends UC Berkeley as a Molecular and Cellular Biology major. She also recently traveled to Greece for a Mediterranean Food Systems program and plans to minor in nutrition.

Outside of her studies, Grace loves hiking, beach volleyball, yoga, thrifting, and cooking meals for her friends. During high school, Grace played volleyball all four years and coached beach volleyball for Mike Inglis. She understands the school/life balance and hopes to help others with this as well.

Last year, Grace interned with Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and provided financially struggling pregnant women, mothers, and children with nutritional resources. This experience solidified Grace’s goal to work in the medical field and provide care to all members of society. Grace is passionate about helping others and wants to give back to the community she was raised in through tutoring.
