Hello! My name is Grace Brinkman and I am a senior studying Journalism on the pre-law track at the University of Illinois. I grew up in a suburb outside St.Louis, Missouri.

 I love to travel, and stayed in Florence, Italy for 4 months in 2023 for study abroad. I also love to run, and have competed in a few marathons. My favorite hobby is reading, and I post literary reviews online for books I’ve been indulging in. I am heading to law school this year in the fall, and my future plan is to work in international law. 

My journalistic work has been published on Good Morning Illini and CU Citizen Access.
