After working on a BS in Journalism from Ohio Univeristy, Patricia free lanced as stringer/reporter for a DC radio station. She then relocated to Atlanta to work in public radio as a development professional, but her love of writing took center stage as assignments from Upscale, Essence, Atlanta Tribune, Figurines and Collectibles and African American Travel came her way. Her focus has been on writing about health, travel and art. When not writing, the Baltimore resident spends time at museums, making jewelry, decoupaging handbags and reading ODE.
