Patrick holds an Associates in Social Sciences from Westchester Community College and a Bachelors in Political Science from Purchase College. He completed a Professional Certificate in Entrepreneurial Mindset and Leadership from Babson College, and he is currently pursuing a Specialization Certificate in Financial Management from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
While obtaining his Bachelor's at Purchase College, Patrick enjoyed interning as a Teaching Assistant for the Political Science Department as well as working as an Athletic Assistant for the Athletics Department. Patrick also interned at the Carver Center, where he worked with families that sought nutrition advice and support, further strengthening his interest in community service and engagement. At Purchase, Patrick conducted a comprehensive analysis of the impact of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) on immigrant families and communities as the focus of his thesis. His research efforts yielded valuable insights, which he subsequently shared by presenting his findings at the esteemed SUNY Undergraduate Research Conference in 2018. This led Patrick to an internship at STEER, where he developed resources for immigrant students related to college access and health care access. After graduating Purchase College in 2018, Patrick became a full-time employee at STEER as an Operations Manager. A few years later, Patrick was promoted to Chief Operating Officer at STEER in 2021.
Patrick is honored to be on the STEER team where he brings a knowledge of community service, social entrepreneurship, public policy, financial management, and strategic planning to help the organization positively impact students, families, and our community.
