Hi, I’m Rikki, a 54-year-old from New Mexico. After a devastating tragedy that turned my life upside down, I’ve made the decision to completely reinvent myself. I just graduated from culinary school and have a deep passion for cooking. I’ve also studied Ayurveda and taken coaching courses (not certified yet, but very committed). My big dream is to blend my chef skills with health and wellness to become a coach and advocate in this space. Right now, I’m exploring AI tools to help accelerate my goals and build something meaningful. I’ll be honest—staying focused is tough sometimes. Financial stress creeps in and pulls me off track, but I’m coachable, determined, and ready to learn. On a lighter note, I love animals, anything creative, and I enjoy singing… even though I probably shouldn’t (ha!). Tony is a bit of a hero to me, but I’m truly excited to be here with all of you—no offense to anyone else! Looking forward to this journey together.
