I joined RDI in 2008 as project assistant for RDI’s RIPPLE website. My work included providing technical support to users and administrative support to the RIPPLE program. As Outreach & Program Coordinator, I manage content for RDI’s website and newsletter, assist with marketing and communications, and support RDI’s Rural Economic Vitality programs. I am passionate about shining the light on opportunities and challenges facing rural communities and the work RDI is doing to help rural communities thrive.
