I worked with Rita for 7 years and together helped grow a new division at USA Basketball focused on servicing a nation-wide audience of coaches and players in basketball. Rita's contributions to the Youth & Sport Development department of USA Basketball are wide-spread. She played a vital role in the creation of our online LMS and MMS systems, set policies and procedures to bring digital programming to coaches around the world, and planned and executed live in-person events including women's conferences focusing on developing future leaders in sport. Her passion for the organization's mission of growing the game and providing first rate customer servicing was a model for all. Rita quickly learned about the user experience needed to build our coaching community and deliver educational courses, safety policies such as background screening, manage payments, user profiles, renewal processes, and more. It was my absolute pleasure to have the experience to work with someone as kind, conscientious, and committed as Rita and she would be a great addition to any team.

Rita is a true example of a servant-leader. Her ability to build bonds and instill trust in both internal and external stakeholders is unparalleled. As a new employee of USA Basketball, Rita showed me that working in tandem, in a relatively new area of the operation, is one that required utilizing our strengths and learning from each other. I can say without question that Rita is a teammate and one that I would choose as my first pick. Additionally, our work together as Co-Chairs of The Huddle, USA Basketball's DEI working group, demonstrated her authenticity, vulnerability, and ability to teach, learn, and bring others along. Rita's work ethic and work product along with her compassionate and empathetic approach to leadership make her a valuable asset to any team she joins.
