A Brazilian turned Mainer, Rita loves to celebrate and is infatuated with the details and the joy of being involved in the organization of events. Anything from get-togethers with childhood friends to dinner parties, Rita is the planner and organizer for it all! A lover of writing and reading, Rita graduated from the number 1 Latin America university where she studied Brazilian Portuguese and Greek Literature. After school, she found her passion for advertising and creative planning, and built a 10-year career at some of the top agencies in Brazil planning events and live experiences for global brands.
