From 1992-2002 she was a program supervisor in the Community Relations Unit for the Aging Services Division of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. Pat also served as the project coordinator and facilitator for the Oklahoma Aging Advocacy Leadership Academy (OAALA), a training Academy that identifies and develops volunteer leaders and advocates on issues related to aging.  In 2002 Pat and her husband moved to GA where she was a consultant for ARC, AARP, The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving, and the Alzheimer’s Association to name a few.  She took the position of Director of Health and Human Services for Gwinnett County in 2008. 
 
Pat has worked with family caregivers and facilitated caregiver support groups in three different states since 1980.  Her passion and ministry is to help individuals who are struggling with the challenges of caring for a spouse, parents, adult child with a disability or a grandparent raising a grandchild. 
 
Pat lives in Lilburn with her husband, Arch, who is a minister in the Presbyterian Church, USA. They have two grown children and one grandchild.
