Patty’s responsibilities include managing office operations, supervising administrative staff, monitoring all accounting and financial transactions and providing support to the Executive Director and Board of Directors.

I recently joined Samaritan’s fundraising team as  development and events coordinator. In this role, I will support the organization by sharing mission-driven stories, engaging with donors, and coordinating community events.

I attended the University of Florida, studying broadcast journalism, and spent ten years working in local television news before transitioning to the nonprofit world. Becoming part of Samaritan allows me to use my storytelling and relationship-building skills to support the crucially important mission of mental health support in our community.

I am the mom of two boys and have called the Fox Valley home for close to 20 years. I fill my cup through watercolor painting, reading, and listening to live music.

John is responsible for accounts payable/receivable and payroll tasks at Samaritan, and he helps deftly manage our donation database. He and his partner Ellie enjoy tending to plants, pets, and their content creation pursuits on Twitch and YouTube. “I have found that Samaritan and I have the same core values surrounding mental health and general empathy for other people. It’s very fulfilling to work here.”
