Over time she evolved toward travel as a business and its educational opportunities, especially culture and languages, which she shared with many. Later, she brought a worldly perspective to her secondary school students, adult immigrant learners and international business travelers helping each to successfully segue into new and challenging life environments. Patricia graduated from Marian College in Indianapolis, IN with a bachelors’ degree in Social Work and concentrations in Spanish and French languages after completing course work at Villa Joseph Marie High School in Richboro, PA following graduation from St. John Bosco Parochial School in Hatboro, PA.
