Gracia holds a Bachelor of Social Science and an LLB from the University of Cape Town.

She began her legal career at the Scalabrini Centre of Cape Town, supporting refugees and asylum seekers through advocacy and human rights work before completing her articles at a boutique law firm. Working across a broad range of litigation matters gave Gracia experience managing legal matters from start to finish while developing strong advocacy, communication, and client relationship skills.

That experience shaped Gracia's practical, client-focused approach to legal work. She enjoys understanding the challenges clients face, asking the right questions, and finding clear, effective solutions that help move matters forward.

At Radiant, Gracia brings curiosity, sound judgement, and a collaborative mindset to commercial contracting. She values continuous learning and enjoys working with clients and colleagues to deliver practical legal solutions that support commercial outcomes.

‍"What drew me to Radiant was its commitment to continuous improvement, innovation, and collaboration. It's a place where people are encouraged to keep learning, embrace new ways of working, and support one another to deliver better outcomes for clients."

‍Outside of work, Gracia plays netball during the week and enjoys exploring small towns at the weekend, discovering new places, local history, and different cultures.
