Patricia was born and raised in Stamford Connecticut. She learned to read at the age of four. Her father and longtime hero, encouraged her to always follow her heart and to do the things that she loved doing. One of those things was reading famous quotations from a book he gave to her and listening to song lyrics that stirred emotions at a heartfelt level.

She attended and graduated Rippowam High School, where at that time, Mrs. Kingston the head of the English Department discovered Patricia had a great deal of potential as a writer. Without any hesitation, Mrs. Kingston enrolled her into a creative writing class where she studied the various forms of writing. Always an unconventional thinker, Patricia loves the emotional and metaphoric freedom of expression poetry has to offer. She took her poetic license and began writing from the heart at an early age. When friends and family encouraged her to share her poems with others, she decided to publish her “Heart Song”. With the hope that at least one poem or thought might touch the reader’s heart the same way they touched hers.
