November 2022 │ Grace Brewer

This month we get to know WDC DG Alumnae Chapter member Grace Brewer! Grace is an initiate of the Delta Iota-Georgia chapter and has been a DG since 2018. She is an IRTA Post-baccalaureate Fellow at The National Institutes of Health and serves as our chapter's VP Membership!

What is your favorite SIG or DG Event? It would have to be the Champagne Brunch as that was my first event with the alumnae chapter!
How have the skills and experiences you had as a collegiate and alumnae DG helped you professionally? The organization and time management skills that I learned when serving my collegiate chapter have set me apart and allowed me to be more confident when leading groups in my personal life and planning projects for work.
What professional achievements are you most proud of? One of my career goals was to work at NIH, so I am ecstatic to complete a research fellowship there before continuing to graduate school.
Do you have a founder that you resonate with most? I resonate more with all of the founders as a whole. Anna, Mary, and Eva started the chapter to foster high ideals of friendship and I strive to always put quality time into friendships.
Do you have a favorite community service activity or organization you work with? I played in a Volo Kickball League soon after moving to DC which supports the Volo Kids Foundation. I think it would be fun to get a league of alum together for one!
Do you have a favorite place or trip? My favorite place to travel is Italy, I even took Italian in college to learn some of the language!
Any advice you would like to give to sisters (related to DG, professional, personal, or living in DC): Get Involved! I just moved to DC and joined this alumni chapter, but being involved in my collegiate chapter made the biggest difference in my connection to it, so I knew I wanted to carry that over as an alum.
