Core Value: Innovating Possibilities
After graduating college in 2021, Gracie spent over two years developing key organizational and coordination skills at an engineering and construction company. In 2023, after moving to Athens, Georgia from North Carolina, she was unexpectedly messaged and encouraged to apply for a job at a place called ESP; here she found a company that truly aligned with her passions and seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Over the past 2.5 years, she has grown from Volunteer Coordinator to serving as Program Coordinator, allowing her to develop meaningful relationships with members, families, staff, and volunteers. Gracie feels deeply connected to ESP’s mission and is continually inspired by the individuals we serve.
Gracie enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, Corbin, and their two dogs, Goose & Penny. You can usually find her at the Athens Farmers Market or a local coffee shop when she’s not supporting year-round programming.
Gracie loves shopping local and going thrifting or to estate sales; Rumor has it she runs into a lot of our members out and about at these and it is her FAVORITE thing!
