I am Richelle. Like Michelle but with an R. My birth home is the island of Oahu in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and my family are proud immigrants from the Philippines. My mother is Gail, my father is Robert. I am also blessed with step-parents, Dayne and Anabel; and five siblings. I currently call the ancestral lands of the Pueblo Indians my home-- in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

My waters are the Rio Grande, Pecos, and Santa Fe rivers. My mountains are the Ko'olau Mountains -- my favorite place to hike back home. 

I am an empath. A creative. I am influenced by the many great minds and kind hearts before me. I hope to leave this world better than I found it while taking in as much of it as I can.
