Grace Sullivan

Senior Associate

Having grown up in Colorado, Grace has a love for the beautiful and diverse landscapes the State has to offer. She loves Palisades peaches and hatch green chiles and enjoys learning about the compelling and diverse parts of Colorado’s historical and cultural fabric. It’s in the unique, geo-sociological setting of the West that Grace began to understand the imperative challenge of climate change and its inextricable ties to race and equity.

Grace’s background and passions continue to meet at the confluence of climate action and social justice. After receiving her master’s degree in International and Intercultural Communications from the University of Denver in 2020, Grace started work consulting in public health and emergency management. She has had the honor of responding to many recent disasters: The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, Hurricane Ian, and the Surfside Condo Collapse. No matter the incident or landscape, she works to advance issues of sustainability and equity through community engagement and the facilitation of dialogue. When she isn’t working, she loves camping, gardening, crafting recipes from what she grew, and spending time with her many animals.
