Grace is committed to finding avenues to restore a social safety net and improve working conditions for low-income populations. Following her Master’s in Social Work, Policy, and Practice at the University of Chicago, Grace worked as project manager on the Fulfillment Center Intervention Study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she analyzed how work conditions impact health and well-being, personal and family life, and decisions about whether to stay in the job or leave.
