Patrick earned a master’s degree in education, focused on college student services administration, from Oregon State University and a bachelor’s degree in history from Western Washington University. He has spent his entire career so far working in higher education and career services, having started this wonderful journey in 1993 as a new student at WWU. Patrick supports Northeastern students in all aspects of career development while also engaging employers to hire students into co-ops, internships, and sponsored XN projects. He especially enjoys seeing students experience career, academic, and life “success.” He also has a lot of fun collaborating with colleagues in college and campus teams. Patrick has lived in the beautiful Pacific Northwest his entire life and grew up on the Olympic Peninsula in the greater Bremerton/Silverdale area. He loves living on the west coast and now calls West Seattle home.
