Patrick was a great supervisor and has become a valued mentor. We have worked on many projects together and Patrick does an incredible job motivating, engaging, and leading even the most challenging teams. He is an accomplished and detail-oriented project manager who is skilled at moving projects forward while applying an equity lens. He is a talented speaker and communicates well with diverse teams, clients, and stakeholders. When faced with challenges that brought uncertainty to our service model, Patrick hit the ground running to strategize and build processes and workflows to meet the anticipated increase in demand.
