Moved to Richmond: 2014
About me: I grew up in Hope Valley, and am a proud graduate of Chariho High School (1996). After seven years doing global consumer PR in New York after college, I moved back to Rhode Island to work at RISD in 2007. My husband and I settled into Richmond in 2014 for many reasons, including its beautiful rural character and the strong sense of community. We (and our three dogs) are so happy to live here!
Why did I help form the RCA?
I started attending Town Council meetings about four years ago to try to stay informed. There seemed to be a lot of bickering and internal politics and it’s only gotten worse, not better. To me, there is no place for partisanship in a small town like Richmond. We should be able to get things done working together respectfully, regardless of party affiliation, rather than turning everything into a political battle for power. I joined with like-minded neighbors concerned about the direction things were going to form the RCA. Simply complaining about how things are does nothing. I realized if I wanted change to happen, it was important to be informed and feel empowered – and then we can work together as a community to enact positive change.
