Patricia has been an active member of Time For My Music, my online community that helps emerging female musicians achieve their music dreams, since the beginning.

Works is being done, but we need to exert more pressure.
I have a really nice alto saxophone. It is the third I have used in my entire career, and the longest serving one so far. I love it dearly. It’s silver! It feels like a part of me when I play it, and that’s why I take care of it with the same carefulness I dedicate to my own hands.
