Pat’s coaching certification was obtained from the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara, (founded by Frederic and Pamela McLean Hudson). The Hudson Institute program is anchored on adult development theory, leadership theory, and systems renewal processes. Pat has also benefited from training delivered by other thought leaders in the coaching profession.

With an MPA (minor in Gerontology) supported by a BA in Business Management, she has career experience in allied health, business, information technology, and K-16 educational settings. Pat also has post-graduate work in counselor education, holds a lifetime counselor credential, and is a certified Mediator.

Pat believes that when one part of the human system improves, all systems in which that human is involved also improve; a belief that is the motivation for her alignment with and involvement in post-secondary education systems since 1982.
