Rita touched the keys of a piano for the first time when she was 5, and has been taking serious training with uninterrupted enthusiasm ever since. She actively participated in major youth piano competitions in her teenage years and won several awards. Later with broad interests in a variety of fields, she obtained university degrees in computer science in Melbourne and developed a career in leadership assessment, ever as senior organization development manager in multi-national companies and now a lead consultant specialized in executive assessment center design and operations. Having lived and worked in China and US for the past 20 years and now she has settled in Toronto. Balancing a professional role with family duties has not been easy and made her away from regular piano practice for quite some years. But with great support and influence from the amateur pianist group and the never fading pianist dream since childhood, she is now enjoying a life with everyday inspiration from music. Rita performed with the Fort Worth symphony Orchestra in Pianotexas 2023 as one of winners of the concerto competition.
Besides piano, she also loves ballet, received formal training since childhood and maintains regular training now which has continued into another enthusiasm for life.
