Global Team

Léa Richer is a CPO in the Chicagoland area. She is a
graduate of the Century College and Concordia University,
St. Paul with a Masters of Science in Orthotics and
Prosthetics and is currently working as a clinician at a
hospital in the Chicago area. Richer is a member of the
ROMP Jr. Board and a 2025 ROMP Ambassador. Her goal
for 2025 is to build on the wealth of knowledge within the

ROMP volunteer community to build resources for future
ambassadors.
Apart from work and the ROMP ambassador program,
Richer enjoys cooking with her partner, hiking, and
adventuring with friends around the world.
Her ‘Why’: What made you get involved with ROMP as
one of their Ambassadors? The ROMP Ambassador
program has served as a way for me to give back and
continue serving the patients of ROMP from home.
Favorite ROMP Moment: In the fall of 2024, I had the
honor of being a part of the 2024 Climbing for ROMP
Team. After many set backs and an epic snow storm,
Team Cayambe found our summit on Cayambe at around
16,000’ of elevation. While we did not make the actual
summit, we were able to celebrate our team’s hard work,
in fundraising for ROMP, training for this hike, and
dedicating a year to working for ROMP, with a snowball
fight in the sun overlooking many of the peaks of Ecuador.
