Rita was born and raised in Boston, MA. She earned her degree from the UMASS Boston in Public Sector/Human Service Management.  Rita enjoyed a long career with the Department of Mental Health working with human service agencies as liaison with DMH which she found very rewarding.

As her family grew, Rita turned to work closer to home allowing for a more balanced family life. In addition to more family time, this moves lead to deeper involvement within her community. Rita served on committees for JBBBS, and as a board member at her congregation.  Rita was thrilled to become part of the TE community as an Administrative Associate, a role that provides variety and interest in supporting administrative leadership and serving the needs of the congregation in a rich Jewish environment.

In Rita’s free time she enjoys reading and spending time with family and friends often at her favorite beach!
