Our Story

From the Healthcare Compliance Associate's owner, Kelli Ngariki:

"This business has been a dream for me. My strengths lie in engaging people and helping them understand complex topics in fun, practical ways. My nature is a ’rule follower’ which has proven helpful when working in compliance 😊. I love teaching, studying, learning, helping, and especially, building relationships and developing connections. And, I am becoming the boss I always hoped to have, and I am extremely proud of my staff.

My master’s degrees are in business and education, but I wasn't satisfied working for someone or teaching in public schools. When this business opportunity came up, I jumped and haven't looked back. This business is the perfect blend of my experience, skills, and passions.

My motivation comes from an internal drive to learn, grow, and succeed and to help provide for my family. My husband and I have two teenage sons diagnosed with fragile X syndrome. This is a genetic disease that causes cognitive disability, low language, anxiety, and other autism characteristics. They will likely live with us for the rest of our lives. I want to build a business that is a legacy and support them after we're gone.

I truly appreciate every one of our clients and feel honored to serve them. It’s such a blessing to hear clients tell me that we make their jobs easier."
