Richelle has had a lifelong connection to the Central Coast, having visited since childhood. Her mother was raised in the area, and part of her extended family still calls it home. Over the years, these visits fostered a deep appreciation for the region’s natural beauty. During her college summers, Richelle fell in love with the Central Coast’s beaches and scenic hiking trails, which became a cherished part of her life. That connection ultimately led her to make the area her home in 2019.
Professionally, Richelle has dedicated her career to public health. She currently manages grant programs for a global health non-profit, improving quality of life and health systems in Asia and Africa. Her passion for community health and sustainability aligns perfectly with the mission of CCSPA. Richelle is excited to be part of an organization that champions outdoor activity and environmental stewardship, values she believes are essential for the health of our community and future generations.
