Patti began using Raiser's Edge in the early days (we're talking the early 90s, with Windows 3.1) at her local YMCA in New Jersey. After over 20 years working in healthcare fundraising and development across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, she made the move to sunny, warm (sometimes too hot) Florida in 2017. Now, as the Development Manager at Jack & Jill Center, Patti continues to increase her Blackbaud portfolio to include Financial Edge, Student Information Systems and Wealth Analytics. Since 2019, she has been presenting at bbcon, both live and virtually, where she shares insights into the ever-evolving role of a DBA along with her favorite tips and tricks.  Patti enjoys life in a canal-front home with her partner and two cats and loves traveling internationally!
