For 17 years Patty worked for a non-profit organization in baseball and 3 years in hospitality and administration. She recently moved to Jacksonville to be closer to family.
Patty is a collector of all things Hello Kitty. You might even see her running errands in her Hello Kitty onesie if you keep your eyes peeled!
She is very excited to experience all there is to offer in Jacksonville and is looking forward to kayaking with her grand-dog Captain Jack, Jumbo Shrimp baseball games and of course caring for the kitties that come into A Cat Clinic.
