Patricia was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She graduated from the University of Washington in 2013, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies with a minor in History and Diversity. After college, she worked for the University of Washington Foundation as a Project Manager and Assistant Director.

In 2016, Patricia and her husband made the cross-country journey to Columbia, South Carolina where she attended law school at the University of South Carolina. While there, Patricia was Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Law and Education, President of Women in Law, and a Pro Bono Board Member. She was also a student attorney in the Domestic Violence Clinic and a student member of the Inn of Court. Patricia graduated cum laude, with a concentration in Children’s Law and at graduation was awarded the prestigious Bronze Compleat Lawyer Award—an award given to three students who demonstrated potential to be outstanding lawyers through their high standards of ethics, integrity and professionalism.

Upon graduation she joined Strom Family Law in 2019, where she has continued to gain a deeper knowledge and passion for complex custody and family court proceedings. While tailoring a specific approach to each case, she continues to zealously advocate for each client.

Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with her family and exploring South Carolina and the rest of the southeast. As an avid football fan Patricia can be found cheering on her hometown teams (Go Huskies and Go Seahawks) throughout the fall and winter. In the spring and summer she enjoys attempting to garden and being outdoors.
