High School Abroad in Spain Madrid, Spain
Hometown: Roslyn, New York, USA

Patricia is originally from New York, but has been a permanent resident in Madrid for over 25 years, after meeting her madrileño husband while studying abroad in college. She keeps busy between planning High School and Gap Year programs, supporting students and host families onsite, and enjoying long jog/walks with her husband and dog, gardening, traveling, translating, and lots of family cooking with her husband and sons!

She has two sons who have both studied a year abroad in a US high school, and one abroad in college, so knows what it is like to send your child overseas!
