Rita brings a fresh perspective to content and marketing at Ballast Point. With a degree in journalism and two decades of experience in Sydney’s arts and cultural sector she has worked with leading institutions such as the Sydney Opera House, NIDA, and the Sydney Theatre Company.

Rita has spent her career helping organisations connect with their communities, build strong relationships, and share their stories in meaningful ways. After 20 years in the arts, she moved into the construction sector, managing programs and events at the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), to support gender equity and diversity in the workplace. Now at Ballast Point, Rita helps connect us with our clients and the broader community by sharing useful information, providing valuable resources, and supporting the rollout of key programs.

Outside of work, she enjoys sharing her passion for food with family and friends, planning her next travel adventure with her husband and step-kids, and relaxing with her four-legged BFF, Louie.
