Grace Grimes

Aquaculture Coordinator

Objective

I work full-time for a landscape design company during the day, while pursuing my passion for aquaculture on the side with a small local nonprofit. I’m looking to make the transition into aquaculture full-time and would love to connect with anyone working in the field or hear about potential opportunities!
