Rita qualified as an Audiologist in 2016, with a BSc Degree in Audiology from Porto in Portugal. Since qualifying, Rita has been working in private health care and the NHS in the UK. Rita decided to become an Audiologist when growing up as she accompanied family members to the audiology department for hearing rehabilitation. Rita herself was diagnosed with a central auditory processing disorder that through the help of audiologists and speech therapists has improved so she is empathetic to the challenges that hearing loss can bring. Rita’s personal experience sparked her passion for helping patients in improving their quality of life through hearing. Rita is also trained in microsuction from Aston University and has been a clinical lead within the audiology field. In her free time, Rita enjoys surfing, cooking, travelling and spending time with loved ones.
