People in Providence – Madzie

Madzie | North Providence

During the week, I’m an apprentice electrician. And then on the weekends, I work at Ellie’s. I have two cats I hang out with. I’m still exploring — I’m still in the exploration part of moving here.

I’ve lived here for two years now. I moved here from Boston. My family is still in Mass, so I wanted to stay close. But I wanted something that was a little smaller and felt more community-oriented, and I had a good friend here, and he loved it. So I just decided, “why not?”

I have found some of the best friends I’ve ever had here. And it’s a lot easier to find community. It’s been an easier time than I’ve ever had.
