Gretchen Rice

she/her | 24 | Colorado

For 18 years of my life I grew up in central Maine before setting off on my own. All through high school I devoted myself to robotics and music. In 2016 I attended college in Needham, Massachusetts - graduating from Olin College of Engineering in 2020. I majored in Engineering with a concentration in Robotics. At Olin I spent a lot of my time singing in PowerChords, our a capella group, playing jazz, and solidifying my passions in teaching and human centered design. After graduation I briefly taught a quarantine pod of 6 students from 1st grade to 5th grade. In January 2021 I flew to Taiwan to complete a Fulbright English Teaching Award (ETA) grant. After 6 months in Taiwan I decided to stay for another year as an English Teaching Fellow. In July 2022 I returned to the states where I decided to continue my adventure in Wheatridge, Colorado.
