Previous to this position, she worked at a Koinonia school
for 5 years as a Career Advisor. Patricia is married with two daughters and
a new son-in-law! Patricia homeschooled their two daughter's for four years,

on an acreage with a dog and several cats. She enjoys hikes in the mountains
and mostly outside activities where you can marvel at God's creation!
