Patricia was born in Oak Park, Illinois and transitioned with her family to Sumter County, Florida in 1983. As a child in school, she took art classes and found this was a great way to express herself. Patricia began her career as a dental laboratory technician in 1994. It wasn’t until working as a dental ceramist that she realized creating people’s smiles was a form of artistic expression. While working in the laboratory, she realized she had a passion for the artistry of creating smiles. In 2001, Patricia gained her National Certification in Ceramics and continued to master her skill set within the laboratory. Patricia soon earned a promotion to Fixed Department Manager, where she gained valuable knowledge of all facets of the dental laboratory. Patricia has taken many courses throughout her career to continue her knowledge of the craft in the ever-changing world of dental technology.
Patricia joined the team at Lakeview Comprehensive Dentistry with nearly 30 years of experience. She has noticed a significant difference working in a dental practice verses working in an off site dental laboratory. She is now able to see, first hand, the positive impact that can be made in transforming a smile and is loving the experience of celebrating WITH her patients.
In her free time Patricia enjoys kayaking, motorcycle riding, fishing and spending time outdoors. Family and friends are an important aspect of her life. Patricia is a proud Boston Terrier mom to Walter, continuing the family tradition of Boston Terrier ownership.
