Patricia is inspired by the dedication of the Future Focused Education team. In her previous role as a project manager for Transform Education NM, she collaborated with FFE and saw the commitment that the FFE staff had to work beside young people as a solution to truly transforming education in New Mexico. She wanted to be part of an organization that directly commits to ensuring young people are valued and given opportunities to live out their dreams and aspirations. She has found her home at FFE. 

Patricia is most proud of the FFE staff that she works with. She says, “They are all very bright and caring servant leaders who believe in our young people and will do whatever it takes to provide meaningful opportunities and support.”  She loves her role as a Senior Advisor and plans to sunset her 39 year long career in education  at FFE. When she is not working, Patricia makes sure to research and learn everything she can to make sure she is staying on her “A” game in the ever expanding field of education. 

The FFE Senior Advisor says she feels blessed to live in New Mexico. “There is no other place like it,” she says, “We live and love the cultural and linguistic diversity of our People. From the landscape to the diverse beauty of our People there is no place I would rather be.”
