About Me
Hi everyone! I am Gracie, and I am also the host of Grace of a Military Child Podcast. I am an Army Brat. My dad served just under 12 years before he medically retired due to an IED explosion. I enjoy meeting other military children and hearing their stories and experiences. No two military children are the same, and it is important to recognize that along with all their unique experiences.
I am a sophomore at Florida Gulf Coast University earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Sciences with a minor in Marketing. From 7th grade, until high school graduation, I danced at a local studio. Some of my favorite genres are lyrical, jazz, and hip hop. I also love going to Disney World with my family, and watching sports. WWE is my favorite and I am very dedicated to watching it weekly!
