Grace Monson studies government and professional writing at GCU. Between writing essays and research projects, she moonlights as a student content specialist for GCE. She enjoys being challenged by her job and working with her amazing team, .but the tips and tidbits she learns from blogs are a nice bonus, too.

Off the clock and away from the classroom, she spends her time reading historical fiction, running in the great outdoors and playing the clarinet in the GCU Thundering Heard Pep Band.

Most important to her, though, is her faith in Jesus Christ. A convert Catholic, she holds her faith close to her heart and feels blessed to be part of a vibrant Christian community at GCU. She hopes to continue her walk with Christ throughout her life and find her purpose in serving the Lord.
