Hi! My name is Grace Weaver, and I am a freshman here at Ferrum, and I am a local student from Franklin County, Virginia. My major is Psychology, and I am in the Boone Honors Program. The majority of my free time is comprised of fitness activities and adventuring in the outdoors, and I love to spend time with those I care about.
