Staff Writer
Grace is a staff writer specializing in outdoor products and outdoor recreation. She tests gear in real outdoor conditions to help readers prepare for safe, enjoyable adventures.
I write about outdoor products and recreation equipment, including camping gear, hiking equipment, and outdoor apparel. My reviews are based on actual field testing, helping readers understand which gear performs well in challenging conditions and which items are worth the investment for their outdoor activities.
My recreation management education combined with years of personal outdoor experience gives me practical insight into what gear actually works. I test products during real camping trips, hikes, and outdoor adventures, not just in controlled environments.
As a ToolGenX journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in our editorial standards. I do not accept gifts or favors from the companies we cover. Our recommendations are based on testing, data analysis, and honest assessment—never on affiliate commissions.
