Alumni Spotlight: Tori Bakker

Oct 23, 2023 | Alumni

“…friendships that last a lifetime…”

Tori Bakker graduated from Grace in 2020 as an on-campus student. She now lives in Kingsley, MI with her husband, Josiah and their son, Jasper. 

Tori graduated with her bachelors degree in music and is currently pursuing her teaching certificate. She is also working as a substitute teacher and plans to become a full-time elementary music teacher in the near future.

When asked what was memorable to her about Grace, Tori replied, “My favorite experience was getting to know so many different people and having friendships that last a lifetime and that came from a biblical standpoint.”

Currently, Tori is also helping her husband in his business, J3Design, where he laser cuts wooden designs.

Thank you, Tori, for sharing your story!
