    As an educator Patricia is top notch. I have worked with her on many occasions and have always admired her attention to detail and her commitment to establishing first rate performances from her students. After many years of teaching she has not lost her joyous spirit and excitement for the ARTS! Students are lucky to have you! Brava, Patricia
