Hello! My name is Gracie Lopez, and I’m a Deaf Studies major with plans to become
an ASL interpreter after graduation. I’ve lived in Utah most of my life and have loved
attending UVU. I’m thrilled to be a Math Mentor this semester. Math has been a personal
struggle for most of my life, and I understand the challenges that come with it, especially
