Marien Richardson

Assistant planner

As CPEX’s Assistant Planner, Marien is excited to work on engaging community-based projects especially in regards to issues of environmental justice and equitable planning. As former CPEX intern, she is excited to return as a full-time staff member. Originally from Baton Rouge, Marien has also worked on the communications teams at the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge, STAR, and an editorial intern at 225 Magazine. She received her Bachelors of Arts in Growth and Structure of Cities with a minor in English from Bryn Mawr College in 2023. Her favorite part of the planning experience is working closely with community members on what matters most to them.  When she isn’t working you can find her painting, thrifting, or running with friends.
