Throughout her career in North Carolina, Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York, Patty has performed in numerous commercials, voice-overs, independent films, and TV shows. 

Recently marrying and relocating to Dallas, Patty continues to perform in her new arena, including independent feature film roles, national & regional commercials, professional theatre roles and maintaining her long-standing position as the on-line voice for Bank of America.  While currently playing her true life role of new wife and full-time stepmom, Patty also serves on the River Valley Arts Center Board of Directors, the Mistletoe Market Committee for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the River Valley, and the PTO Board for Russellville Middle School.  Somehow, she still manages to find plenty of time to pursue her latest passion: the alternately glorious and maddening game of golf.
