Rita has been one of my go-to writers for health content. And she is the first person that comes to mind when a healthcare client has a need that requires a deep dive into the research. I trust Rita's skill in finding appropriate research and her judgement in synthesizing what she learns through this research. And her sourcing is impeccable. --Lisa Farino, Managing Editor, Contently
When I have health articles to assign that involve the sometimes-tricky balance between a patient's story and some complex medical information, I immediately think of Rita. She never disappoints. With Rita, I know the reporting will be deep and thorough and the prose well organized and easy to read. For Onward, I'm working with clients who can be exacting, and having reliable, talented writers at my fingertips makes me look good, too. --Denise Schipani, Editorial Director, Onward Publishing
Rita wrote for me regularly while I was at an agency editing two magazines for healthcare clients--one a national nonprofit and the other an internationally renowned hospital. In addition to being consistently impressed with her dedication and skill at translating often complicated topics into easily understandable stories, the clients were equally happy with her work. It was very easy to keep turning to her to contribute to each issue, and I always looked forward to working with her. --Ian Landau, Content Editor
Rita has the rare gift of being able to digest a lot of information from a variety of sources and shape and distill in such a way that it is clear, compelling and accessible to the reader. She is a delight to work with. I recommend her services without hesitation. -- Mike Henderson, President and CEO , ABC Greater Baltimore/Building Baltimore Magazine
Rita delivers well researched and well-written stories on time. She is a versatile writer who is able to handle a range of assignments. --Judith Crown, former Editorial Director, Electronic and Print Media, Office of Communications and Public Affairs
I hired Rita as assistant editor and advertising manager for the Indiana Alumni Magazine. She was an exemplary employee, with excellent editing and writing skills, and she forged links with new advertisers. She is intelligent, hard-working, creative, and flexible. Her broad education, varied interests, and solid research skills qualify her to write on a variety of subjects. I recommend her highly. --Judith Schroeder, former Editor and Vice President of Communication, Indiana University Alumni
