Grace is a native of Zanesville, Ohio and began her training at Movement on Main Center for Dance at a young age. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BFA in Ballet, and a BBA in Business Economics from The University of Cincinnati in the spring of 2022.  In the Conservatory, she performed a Flower Girl Variation in Dierdre Carberry’s Don Quixote, as well as Medora in Carberry’s Le Jardin Animé. She was cast to perform in Qi Jiang’s Rite of Spring as well as Russian Girl in George Balanchine’s Serenade for the spring of 2020.

In 2020 she accepted a co-op with Fort Wayne Ballet where she performed as Snow White in the Family Series Production, along with corps de ballet roles in the company’s Nutcracker. 

Grace joined Indianapolis Ballet as an apprentice in 2021 and was promoted to a company artist for the remainder of the season where she performed as one of the four Cygnets in Swan Lake, Russian Girl Corps in Serenade, and Little Red Riding Hood in The Sleeping Beauty.

Grace is looking forward to continuing her experience with IB as an artist this season.
