Patricia was born and raised in Manila, Philippines and is fluent in Tagalog. Patricia’ earliest memory in a Montessori environment was working as a “teacher’s aide” for a day in her aunt’s classroom as a young girl. Clearly, it has left a lasting impression. Right after graduating college, Patricia immigrated to Fremont and took the AMI Montessori Teacher Training. She has been working in the classroom for almost two decades, it is an absolute joy to work with children. In her free time, Patricia enjoys gardening, cooking and hiking with her family. She has two children, aged 10 and 8 who love the beach life and their little pet bunny.
