Pat studied psychology at Kansas State University before relocating to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where she became a professional scuba diver and obtained her U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s License. During her time there, she served as the Director of Operations for a local diving company, overseeing multiple retail outlets and establishing partnerships with major hotels and resorts across the island. Pat later transitioned into the spa industry, where she spent two decades leading teams of up to 100 employees at prestigious properties such as Ritz-Carlton, PGA National, and Marriott, consistently driving innovation and excellence.

Pat's deep passion for service and hospitality has made her a natural fit for recruitment, where she thrives in fostering strong relationships between clients and candidates. Happily married to her husband, Dave, for nearly 20 years, Pat enjoys spending time on the water with him in sunny South Florida.
