Kimberly Tynik is a contributing reporter for The Bellringer. A resident of East Hampton since 2023, Kimberly learned about the WPCA expansion project the way most of her neighbors did: through word of mouth, when the proposed facility hit close to home. A regulatory and medication safety pharmacy specialist by trade, she brings a sharp eye for process, compliance, and accountability to her reporting. With young kids and a full-time career, running for town council isn’t in the cards right now, so she’s found another way to stay engaged with her community. This is her first foray into journalism.
