Gracie joined the Overseas Programs team in Spring 2025. She advises students in Arts & Sciences on semester and summer study abroad programs, coordinates events, and runs the Overseas Programs social media. Her advising portfolio includes programs located in Europe, South Africa, and countries across the Asia-Pacific region.
International opportunities led Gracie to pursue a career in international education. As an undergraduate student, she studied abroad in England at Oxford University. While earning her M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration, she served as a graduate program assistant for a study abroad program in Paris, France. Gracie continued to work in higher education and before coming to WashU, she was the Study Abroad Coordinator at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Outside of the office, Gracie is hanging out around St. Louis with her many dogs in tow or planning her next trip abroad with her husband!
