About Joining Our Talented Team
"To Improve the Quality of Life for Those We Serve"
Michelle Rankine PhD | Owner
Michelle's life journey led her to McKinney, Texas and Right at Home. She holds a PhD in Higher Education from the University of Denver, a Masters Degree in Sports Management & Pedagogy Administration, and a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology from Purdue University.
With years of experience and achievements in higher education and sports, Michelle dreamed about owning her own business and being able to help others. She felt a strong calling to serve the community in a more significant way than her previous volunteer work.
Michelle has lifelong experiences as a caregiver for family members throughout the years, and she learned about the physical, emotional and spiritual strains a family can experience when caring for a loved one. Her hands-on experience in so many facets of her life translates to a philosophy of compassion and responsibility, to always do the right thing for her clients.
"I am able to get to know peoples' life stories and able to make a difference in their lives. It's an honor to meet so many people and to help them maintain their independence."
Jeffrey T. Marimat | Home Care Concierge
Young Jeff and His Mother
I'm from the City of Smiles, Bacolod in the Philippines, I'm a registered Nurse and a certified Virtual Assistant. I worked as a Customer Service Representative as well for 7 years on two Telecommunications Companies in the US.
During my day off, you will find me out in the outdoors most of the time, with my mountain bike. I love the challenge, it makes me feel superhuman and best thing about it is it allows me to connect to the natural world and be able to visit places that I never imagined existed.
The reason why I work at Right at Home is Work-Life Balance and the opportunity to be able to work in the comfort of my home, and able to connect to the most amazing people that share a common goal which is to improve the quality of life for those we serve.

Angela Bradbury | Office Manager
Angela and Her Mother
I was born and raised in the Dallas, TX area, and still remain here today. My interest in real life experiences led me to the healthcare industry 30 years ago at the front desk in a Baylor pediatric hospital, with the last 27 years as an Office Manager for a Home Health agency that equipped me with the knowledge and compassion of meeting the needs of our seniors in their communities.
After experiencing the challenges with my own Mom's Alzheimer's Disease, I am grateful and blessed to be working for Right at Home, to establish relationships with our clients, being of service, and providing the appropriate care services needed to help individuals and their loved ones to remain independent in their home setting.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, church activities, opportunities to travel, and experiencing new things in life.

I was born and raised in the City of Biñan, Philippines. I used to head a dialysis unit and had to work with multiple brands to put up the unit. My passion is traveling and meeting new friends along the way.
I really enjoy working with Right at Home. I get the opportunity to talk to great people around the area and help them start on shifts. I love how enthusiastic our applicants are.
