Rita started out early in her career as an educator after graduating from college.  She earned her Master's degree in School Administration in the late 70's, changed careers, and used an introduction to secure a position as a contracts negotiator for a company that designed and manufactured electronic defense systems.

In the early 80's, she earned her Master's Degree in Business Administration and took on the position of Chief Financial Officer and Vice president of Administration for a Business & Technology Consulting Company and directed their financial, accounting, and administrative affairs.

Rita retired from the corporate world in the late 80's, changed careers, teamed with a group of physicians, and opened and managed wellness centers. After an unanticipated challenge and recovery from leukemia, Rita developed a passion for health and fitness and purchased and operated a group of women's fitness center franchises.

In the late 90's, disillusioned with the inherent weaknesses in the "health club" franchise business model, and believing that there had to be a better way, she teamed up with long-time friend and business associate, Richard Farina, Founder of the Medical Fitness Academy.  Together they developed and operated several very successful medical fitness & weight loss centers.

Among Rita's most notable contribution has been the creation of training videos and materials on how to convert patients into long-term cash-paying wellness "clients".
