Bio

In September 1989, Patti started her dream job, teaching high school physical education and coaching the senior girls' volleyball and rugby teams. She didn't believe a rookie could land the perfect job in their first year of teaching, but she did. However, five months later, before the end of her first year of teaching, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Ten years later, she was forced to leave the only job she ever wanted due to worsening symptoms of MS.

In 2001, Patti went back to university to pursue graduate studies at the University of Toronto. Her ultimate goal in life was to teach and supervise others keen to enter the same profession as she. In 2005, she graduated with a Ph.D. in Teacher Development. Her research focused on the impact of chronic disease on teacher identity. However, Patti never secured a tenured position as a teacher educator and went on long-term disability in 2007.

Fourteen years later, Patti discovered her life with MS was far richer when she focused on living each day as her best self. This shift in mindset became her newfound purpose in life; to help other women with MS do the same. She created a fast-growing FB tribe, Women with MS living FEARLESS, Brave & Bold. In this tribe, she shares her knowledge and experiences along with valuable content and resources.

Patti has recently been asked to write a chapter along with 20 other women for a book, Absolute Will. This book will share the personal stories of women who faced significant challenges and endured to live meaningful and purposeful lives.

Patti is committed to sharing her message of optimism with as many people facing challenging obstacles as possible urging them to replace "I can't" with "I will" and embrace the best versions of themselves.
