Patti joined Gather as a volunteer in the summer of 2018 when she fell in love with the Cooking 4 Community Program (C4C). Shortly thereafter, she became passionate about all the Gather programs. Over time, Patti transitioned from being a fundraising consultant to part-time staff fundraiser and today, Patti serves as Development Director working with individual and corporate donors as well as hosting a variety of annual Gather events.

Prior to Gather, Patti was Director of Business Development for various NYC advertising agencies; when she and her husband, Larry, moved to the Seacoast, Patti transitioned to Business Development Director for a Boston-based international high tech consortia management company. Patti grew up in CT, graduated from Emerson College with a Communications degree; she and Larry have been thrilled to raise their three children on the NH Seacoast. Outside of family and work, Patti can be found on a tennis, paddle, or pickle court, cooking for friends, and playing mahjong!
