Pat has reviewed San Diego theater for more than two decades; she sees more than 200 productions every year. With her colorful hair, language, and personality, she's earned the moniker "theater diva."

Pat's theater reviews can be heard weekly on KSDS-FM, Jazz88.3, and her writings also appear regularly at Patch.com. She writes a monthly column on theater and the arts for SD Metro Magazine, and writes regularly about culture, lifestyle and the arts for the San Diego Jewish Journal.

In 1998, Pat created the Patté Awards™ for Theater Excellence ('cause theatermakers "ain't chopped liver!"), to honor the range and diversity of San Diego theater and to give something back to the community. The Patté Awards was nominated for an Emmy Award three times.

In her "other life," she was a long-time faculty member at San Diego State University, where she was named 'Most Influential Faculty' eight times. She obtained her Ph.D. in Communicative Arts & Sciences from the City University of New York.

Patté Productions, Inc. was formed to promote the arts in San Diego through published writing dedicated to the performing arts.
