About Rachel Wimmer

My name is Rachel Wimmer and I graduated William & Mary in May 2016. I studied biology and marine science at W&M and worked in a research lab studying seagrass communities at VIMS.

Once an EcoAmbassador for W&M who blogged about sustainability research and initiatives taking place at W&M and VIMS, I am now working at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington D.C. on the media team for their journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
