Introducing 2025 FLBS Marketing Intern Grace Porges!

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Grace Porges grew up visiting family in Missoula, Montana, where she developed a deep appreciation for the state's landscapes and communities. Now a third-year marketing student at the University of Montana, she is passionate about sustainability, storytelling, and visual communication. As the 2025 Marketing Intern at FLBS, Grace is excited to help broaden FLBS’s visibility, strengthen community connections, and celebrate its mission across generations. Outside of work, you’ll find her skiing in the winter, backpacking in the summer, or behind a sewing machine creating upcycled textiles. She also sells handmade goods at local Missoula markets, where she builds community around sustainable fashion and creative reuse.

Grace looks forward to engaging with new audiences and using media to share the impactful work happening at FLBS. Be on the lookout for Grace and other amazing FLBS interns on our social media platforms and in-person events—including the upcoming FLBS Research Cruise and Open House!
