This consisted of production work for the Sydney Olympics, as well as features, commercials, shows and live broadcasts aired on ESPN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC and Golf Channel. After earning an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management, Brita spent eight years coaching and advising founders of companies and C-level executives prior to becoming a Pilates Instructor and starting a family.
