Rosemary joined the staff team in August 2021. Growing up, they watched their mother struggle everyday to make ends meet in the face of stagnant wages and housing instability. Realizing that their story was not unique, they were driven to fight for social change to make a better world alongside millions of people fighting against the same inequalities. As a first-generation graduate from Marist College, they fell in love with the Hudson Valley through several years of working in local politics and student engagement. They’re inspired everyday by an ever-growing collection of stories from community conversations and a passion to bring us together to create a better world. When they’re not working, they can be found exploring New York with their fiancée Lillyanna or petting stray cats.
