Pat has been teaching dance to all ages since 1989. Born in Germany as an Army Brat, she came to the United States at the tender age of three.

As a young student in the sport of gymnastics, Pat's coach gave her the honor of choreographing floor routines for the team.

Pat began her dance training in Florida at Boca Raton Dance Academy. She continued to train with studio's such as Dance Dimensions under Director Debbie Dee, Steven Fullerton Dance in California Edge Performing Arts Center, Conservatory of Classical Ballet in California and graduated from the University of Performing Arts, now called Florida International University in Miami.

Pat started teaching at Valley Force Dance in California as the assistant director of the studio. She also worked for Paramount Theme Parks (Great America) doing choreography for the children's shows.

Ten years later, Pat has found herself back in Florida teaching dance at Ventura Elementary and Raskin Dance Studios in such forms as Modern, Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Musical Theatre and Acro.

She enjoys Choreographing / Directing shows such as Cinderella, Snow White, Oliver, Frosty's Broadway Fantasy, Babes in Toyland and most recently Mary Poppins. She also serves as choreographer and assistant director for Raskin Dance Company. Pat also works with The Rock Church. Her credits for church shows include Beyond, Scrooge gets Saved, Christmas and Easter Cantatas. Currently she is also working with music artists such as Luke Davids, Mel Martinez, Little Italy, TMDB and Kamillee Ahne both on stage and in the recording studio. With this new venture, she has branched off into promotions and booking for music artists in the Orlando area under Makmrock Promotions.

Pat continues to grow as a creative and supportive person. In her own words, "life is wonderful when you put a silver lining on things you do."
