After working in the dental world and earning a degree in dental assisting with expanded functions, she was ready for a change. A company with a strong reputation and room to learn felt like the perfect fit, and she quickly found her place on our team. As a Customer Support Specialist, Patty helps members navigate phone, internet and TV services, answers incoming calls and troubleshoots issues with a friendly, steady approach. She takes pride in making sure every customer feels supported. What she enjoys most is the teamwork behind the scenes. She describes her coworkers as supportive and hardworking and says the group’s commitment to one another is what makes each day rewarding. Patty’s creativity and can-do spirit trace back to her childhood on Blueberry Lake in Menahga. With no TV and a dad who encouraged her to “find her own fun,” she built rafts, forts, teepees and even ice rinks. She joked that it was the “worst childhood” at the time but later realized it was the best one possible. She passed along that sense of adventure through state park trips and wildlife cruises. Eventually they agreed it was a childhood to be proud of. Outside of work, Patty loves concerts, football games, time with her kids and a plate of prime rib with fresh horseradish. Someday she hopes to take her family to Ireland to explore their heritage together. Patty brings heart, humor and genuine care to everything she does, and we are proud to have her as part of the West Central team.
