Hi, I'm Ritchine.

My story

---

I've always believed you take care of your elders. So when I started working in aging care, it was hard to watch how many families were trying to figure everything out alone.

I studied Health Science at the University of South Florida, focused on aging science and health management. Then I spent years learning from a care manager with more than 35 years in the field. I saw what changes when a family has a real advocate in the room. That's when I knew what I wanted to build.

I also spent four years in financial restructuring at Alvarez & Marsal, working on complex cases where a lot of moving parts had to come together under pressure. It turns out that's a lot like coordinating care. It's also why I care so much about helping families plan for costs, not just care.

Fuel Vitality is the place I wish more families had. Someone in your corner who knows the system, tells you the truth, and stays with you.
