Pat is a retired educator and professional counselor who has worked at both the university and high school levels. She spent the last twenty years of her career at Gilmour Academy where she was introduced to the mission of Sister Rosa through the student mission trips Gilmour took each year to Nuevo Paraiso. From her first mission trip to Honduras, her heart was filled with the people of Honduras and she knew she would return. Pat and her husband, Ron, have traveled to Honduras nine times (so far), co-led a mission trip to Honduras, hosted a Honduran college student in their home and continue to sponsor several children in Nuevo Paraiso today.
