Grace or Gracie-Lee depending on who you ask, is the clinical coordinator for Backspace. She is currently studying biomedical science at Griffith University with a plan to study medicine in the future. Previously she was a real estate sales agent and has had an array of businesses and worked in varying industries which has helped shape the character you see today. She is the proud stepmother to two beautiful teenage girls, a cat and dog and fiancé to a builder.
