Rhonda earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication/Journalism from Shippensburg University, with an emphasis in Public Relations. Since then, she's put that degree to work in a variety of ways, proving that you never really know where life, or a paycheck, will take you.
Over the years, Rhonda has been a radio DJ, a jewelry salesperson, a graphic artist, and, according to those who were lucky enough to experience it, a maker of the best cheesy bread Little Caesars has ever seen. She's worn many hats, and some of them probably came with a headset and a questionable uniform.
These days, Rhonda puts her creative talents to work at CUMC, designing banners, flyers, newsletters, and other publications while managing the church website and social media. Basically, if it needs to look good, be posted online, or be announced to the congregation and community, there's a decent chance it will land on Rhonda's desk.
Rhonda lives in Shippensburg with her husband, John, and their three adult children - Kemper, Joey, and Emma: and two dogs. Barney is Rhonda's best pal, while Luna, their super-lazy bulldog, contributes absolutely nothing to the household except snorning and taking up space.
When she's not working, Rhonda enjoys biking, performing in community theatre, and traveling, especially to Disney World, where she happily trades adulthood for Mickey ears, overpriced snacks, and the belief that standing in line for a ride is a perfectly reasonable way to spend a vacation.
With a background spanning radio, retail, newspapers, restaurant bread production, and church communications, Rhonda has learned one important lesson: there's very little she can't do, and if she doesn't know how, give her five minutes, a computer, and possibly a cheesy bread break.
