Pat is the Global Teams Chief Administrative Officer overseeing the administrative functions of the International Headquarters and helping to support the needs of the other area bases.

Pat joined Global Teams in 2006 as the Administrative Assistant to the International Director. She brought with her 30 years of administrative, sales, and finance experience having owned a business, worked as an international sales representative for a micrographics firm, director of a government grant, and principal of a Christian school. For several years, Pat worked as a loan officer for a major bank, serving six branches in the Central California area. For many years Pat’s ministry was as a Youth Director and Worship Leader in her local church, as well as a Lay Counselor.

 

 

In 1987, Pat and her husband moved from Pennsylvania to San Francisco where they served with an inner-city mission organization. This was on the heels of their honeymoon! There they took their first journey in multi-cultural mission work as they learned the difference between small-town nor-Easterners and big city Californians. The shift from urban missions to international missions with Global Teams was a challenging stretch, but, according to Pat, an awesome one! She loves serving the Lord through her work.
