THE NATURAL
Home-Grown Talent
Rizza is a local gal (well, by way of Hawaii), having graduated from Dr. Phillips High School, University of Florida, and Full Sail University, where she earned a degree in Film & Television Production.
Right away, she started working as a freelance Production Assistant and eventually compiled a long list of clients including Jim Henson Television, MTV Networks, Nickelodeon Studios, Walt Disney World, and the Golf Channel—ultimately turning that last one into a full-time gig that lasted for more than five years.
