Born in Philadelphia, Rhonda has been a long time resident of Lower Bucks County.
An avid animal lover, Rhonda formerly owned a pet shop and had previously worked as a Veterinary Technician. Growing up, she loved to ride her horse, Sunrise, through the streets of Northeast Philadelphia. Later in life, her beloved Bernese Mountain dogs brought her so much joy.
