She joined Next Avenue in September 2017 after years of experience covering music. Her work has appeared in Twin Cities Pride Magazine, The St. Paul Pioneer Press, Minneapolis–St. Paul’s alt-weekly City Pages, The Riveter Magazine, Stereogum.com, 89.3 The Current, VICE’s Live Nation TV and more.
Grace holds a bachelor of arts in journalism and gender, women and sexuality studies from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities with an emphasis in magazine writing and editing.
