Bex Heimbrock

Journalist with a proven track record in leadership, innovation, crisis management and communication. I was the lead reporter and editor on a ground-breaking piece uncovering a sealed State Attorney General investigation into my school, Whitman College. For three years, I have overseen dynamic news teams at the Whitman Wire, while also writing freelance articles for national outlets including Teen Vogue. I also spearheaded the Investigative Reporting and Breaking News Desks at The Wire.

I am the 2024-2025 News Editor at The Whitman Wire. For the previous two years I worked as Opinion Editor, while also collaborating on News and Feature stories. I have published freelance articles in Teen Vogue and MSN. I am a three-time consecutive recipient of the Louis B. Perry research award, funding extensive research with Professor and Chair of Indigeneity, Race and Ethnicity Studies at Whitman College Zahi Zalloua, most recently culminating in his book ‘The Politics of The Wretched.’
