Beyond her role in the newspaper, Grace is also an aspiring director. She showcases her creativity through photography and music videos on her online portfolio. “I want to create short films and hope to attend FSU for film studies,” Shafer shared. Shafer enjoys exploring the great outdoors, particularly through hiking. She visits to North Carolina allowing her to connect with nature and challenge herself physically. “A fun fact about me is that I love thrifting. I always look for unique finds and then grab a bite to eat with friends,” Shafer said. In addition to hiking, Shafer is a movie enthusiast. Her favorite genres are drama and horror, and she can often be found at the theater thanks to her AMC Stubbs membership. “My next concert is in October, and I can’t wait to experience more live music!” Shafer explained.
