Director of Social Media
Boston, Massachusetts

Summary

Patricia serves as both a Board Member of Judy’s League and the chair of our Social Media Committee. She works to promote the mission of the organization through editing social media content so that it is accessible for all users.

As a disabled individual herself, Patricia particularly became interested and invested in disability advocacy during her collegiate career, serving in multiple capacities on the Executive Board of LEVEL, Villanova University’s student disability organization. Patricia is now a Litigation Paralegal at a globally recognized law firm, with intentions of going to law school in the coming years. She hopes to continually incorporate her lived experiences into her work within the legal sphere. While not intending to go into disability law, this path has taught her how crucial disability rights work is. Patricia first joined Judy’s League after being inspired by her roommate and close friend, our founder, Kaleigh Brendle. She is also continually inspired by the work of Judy Heumann. She is excited to see this organization grow.
