Grace Branger

Grace Branger grew up in Gilmanton, Wisconsin. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in genetics and genomics and a minor in disability rights and services. As an undergraduate, she served as the president of the Pre-Genetic Counseling Organization and helped other students interested in genetic counseling become more familiar with the field. In addition, she found her true passion for disability advocacy by working both as a respite care provider for children with disabilities and volunteering at GiGi’s Playhouse as a math tutor. During the last year of her bachelor’s degree, she also worked as a prenatal genetic counseling assistant in the Center for Perinatal Care at Meriter Hospital in Madison, WI. In her free time, Grace loves to explore the outdoors and spend time with her friends and family. She also loves to do crafts and recently took up crocheting.
