Grace moved to Melbourne from Canada with her life partner, Ryan and began working as a Technician at ProMotion in March 2023. Grace immediately cemented a place within the team, endearing herself to all of us with her beautiful spirit and infectious smile.

Grace brought with her a wealth of knowledge and willingness to take on any challenge put to her.
