She became active in local arts groups first, volunteering with Vallejo Open Studios and Vallejo Art Walk.

She started attending City Council meetings, writing to the local paper, and engaging in serious debates on social media. That wasn’t enough for her. Gretchen decided to get serious about writing and study journalism so that she can delve into meaningful investigative work.
