About Rita Magalde
Founder & CEO, Sheer Ambrosia Bakery | Author | Entrepreneurial Mentor
Rita Magalde is the embodiment of resilience and reinvention. A seasoned entrepreneur who traded the corporate mold for a path paved with passion, Rita brings over two decades of experience in building businesses from the ground up—including a multimillion-dollar travel agency and her current venture, Sheer Ambrosia, a gourmet baklava bakery rooted in culture, craft, and heart.
Rita’s journey from financial hardship and single motherhood to soulful entrepreneurship is a masterclass in starting over. Her concept of “Reinventing Rita” is a powerful blueprint for women 40+ seeking purpose beyond the corporate grind. As a Black woman baking traditional Greek pastries in Utah, she defied the odds and built a brand that not only delights taste buds but also fuels her mission: helping other women discover their unique talents and turn adversity into opportunity.
Rita’s story is rich with grit, grace, and wisdom—perfectly suited to inspire women ready to rewrite their professional narratives and claim careers that feel as authentic as they are fulfilling.
