Bio

Grae was born in Co-Housing and continues to enjoy the unique experience of living in community. Now they are involved in a community book club studying Yana Ludwig and Karen Gimnig book “The Cooperative Culture Handbook”. They graduated from Mount Holyoke College in spring ’23 where they studied Data Science with a focus in Economics. During undergrad, they also gained Dialogue Facilitation and social justice oriented Peer Education training. This training continues to benefit their many relationships inside and outside of co-housing. They are excited to bring some of this training to this year’s Co-Housing Conference. For their capstone project, they researched the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) and continue to be interested in alternate measures of societal well-being and progress. In their free time Grae enjoys babysitting community kiddos and hanging out with path cats.
