In South Africa she was full time music director for the "Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk – Oberholzer", as well as a high school teacher (math and computer science). In addition, she was involved in church choir, school choir, and school musicals.
Rika continually strives to challenge herself and is currently an organ student of Dr. J. Kloppers. Her favorite composer of organ music is Dietrich Buxtehude.
Apart from being the Music and Choir Director, Rika’s "real job" is being the mom of twin toddlers.
