What Partners Are Saying

Longtime Collaborator

Festo O., Director of Advancement

University City Science Center

“For over 10 years, we worked closely to bring the corporate and nonprofit communities together in finding solutions and building partnerships to support a stronger workforce… Patty’s ability to maintain and grow relationships results in exceeding expectations.”

Strategic Thought Partner

Shawn K., Managing Director of Recruitment Marketing

Aloysius Butler & Clark

“Patty is the picture of professionalism. She works tirelessly to achieve outstanding results while also being inclusive to all partners and stakeholders. She is comfortable in small groups, developing strategies and ideas, but truly shines when she can lead and provide guidance to large groups that are tasked with solving significant challenges, such as attracting more millennial talent into the greater Philadelphia region, or attracting more technology talent in Philadelphia businesses. I highly recommend her. She brings value to every organization with which she is involved.”

Program Participant, Pay It Forward 

Phil Brooks, Vice President, Programming and Innovation

Graduate! Philadelphia

"Patty's ability to build strong relationships across industries and engage stakeholders is incredible, and I have learned a great deal just by observing how leaders and her peers react positively to her approach to developing solutions to complex challenges. I was fortunate to participate in Pay It Forward, a program designed and implemented by Patricia connecting young professionals across the region with industry mentors. Her keen eye on pairing me with the right industry professional was spot-on — I genuinely looked forward to connecting with my mentor, and I was able to leverage that relationship into opportunities that led to grants for my program and job placements for others. 

I'm inspired by the lasting, positive change Patty has created, and it would be an honor to work on future projects with her."

Cross-Functional Collaborator, Health Union

Laura Kompanik, Strategic Communications & Engagement Strategy

"I had the pleasure of working with Patty on several cross-functional initiatives at Health Union, and she always stood out for her collaborative and strategic mindset. She's a results-driven professional with deep expertise in program operations, program management, and community engagement — an exceptional project manager, organized and skilled at keeping teams, timelines, and vendors aligned. No matter how complex the initiative, she stays adaptable and strategic, even when priorities shift. 

What truly sets her apart is her ability to harness data and insights to drive smart decisions and enhance outcomes. But beyond the technical expertise, she's a natural connector — bringing people, resources, and systems together in a way that creates efficiency, transparency, and meaningful impact. She takes a consultative approach in every interaction, ensuring all perspectives are heard and valued, and I saw this firsthand in her community engagement work, where she skillfully balanced stakeholder input while delivering real results."
