Ritchel Mendiola

Ritchel Mendiola is a Pet Insurance Content Writer at MoneyGeek, where she builds and maintains the pet insurance vertical by producing coverage guides, provider comparisons, and cost analyses designed to help pet owners make informed decisions without overpaying.

Ritchel brings a trained journalist's approach to insurance coverage. Before moving into personal finance writing, she spent over four years as a News and Feature Writer at Asian Journal Publications, reporting for the Asian Journal newspaper and Balikbayan Magazine, conducting interviews, attending media events, and working within a structured editorial process. That foundation shapes how she approaches insurance content: treating policy terms, exclusions, waiting periods, and reimbursement structures as facts to be reported accurately rather than marketing copy to be summarized.

She joined MoneyGeek in late 2021, initially producing personal finance content in the loans vertical before transitioning to lead pet insurance content production. Her published work spans provider comparisons, breed-specific cost guides, age-specific coverage analyses, and state-level pricing studies, all drawing on the vertical's research framework covering over 5 million pet insurance profiles across 18 major providers and all U.S. states.
