Grace Hawkins is an occupational therapist and feeding specialist at Renue Physical Therapy – Auburn, and has been practicing occupational therapy since 2024 upon graduation from Saginaw Valley State University.

Prior to joining the Renue team, Grace worked in a hospital acute care settings as well as outpatient orthopedics and pediatrics. During her college years, she also worked as a registered behavior technician, where she worked with children on the autism spectrum.
