Originally from Sandyford, Grace first joined Solas Project in 2022 as a volunteer for the Junior After Schools programme. After experiencing the importance of the work and finding joy and connection as a volunteer, Grace transitioned to a staff role as a youth worker the following year. In her own words:

“As an After Schools Youth Worker I love how different each day is with the kids, although challenging at times, it's great to see the creativity, fun and laughter that each child can bring to the club when given a safe space to express themselves, learn and grow.” 

Having studied Printmaking in the National College of Art and Design, Grace brings abundant creativity and passion to her role. In her free time she enjoys taking film photos, developing prints in her studio darkroom, swimming in the sea, and hiking around Dublin.
