Patricia is of Okinawan descent, Finnish and English born in Okinawa, Japan. She grew up as an "Army Brat" and experienced the military life growing up and in her adult life. She is a strong advocate for military members and their families. Patricia had the privilege to travel to Incirlik, Turkey and performed for the military troops and their families in lead roles at the Community Theatre on Base for two years. It was after that experience that she would go on to continue acting as a profession. Patricia received her first professional training at the Actor's Workshop Theatre Training Institute in Boston, Ma., where she studied the Meisner Technique for two years. She then continued to study at Playhouse West under Robert Carnegie. After a short time in LA, the military uprooted Patricia back to the East Coast. She still continued her craft and had her heart set in coming back. Now back in LA, since 2015, Patricia has definitely hit the ground running. She is thankful to be back to pursue her dreams!
